Pasadena voters to decide Rose Bowl-NFL initiative
PASADENA, Calif. Pasadena voters in November could help decide whether L-A gets a pro-football team.
Pasadena City Council voted unanimously to place a measure on the ballot aimed at luring a team to the Rose Bowl.
It proposes giving the league rights to play at the stadium for 25 years in exchange for a 500-(m) million dollar stadium renovation, 500-thousand dollars a year in rent, and other considerations.
City Councilman Chris Holden says passing the measure would relieve Pasadena of paying 200-(m) million dollars for renovations he said are needed at the Rose Bowl.
But the initiative is opposed by West Pasadena residents, preservationists, and other city leaders, including Mayor Bill Bogaard.
Meanwhile, a committee of N-F-L owners heard stadium presentations last week from Los Angeles, Anaheim and Pasadena.
They could decide later this month whether to approve a Southern California franchise.
