Looking at Rose Bowl history I found the following:<BR/><BR/>The Yale Bowl is a football stadium in New Haven, Connecticut on the border of West Haven, about 1-1/2 miles west of Yale's main campus. Completed in 1914, ground was broken on the stadium in August 1913. It was built by excavating the field area and then building up a berm around the perimeter with the excavated earth to create an elliptical bowl. It was the first bowl-shaped stadium in the country, and provided inspiration for the design of such stadiums as the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the Rose Bowl, and Michigan Stadium. <BR/><BR/>So, I think the *bowl* comes from the shape and has taken on additional meaning as time has gone on.Snaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16648866385164116020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823099189127138897.post-42059461172511156762008-12-31T21:40:00.000-06:002008-12-31T21:40:00.000-06:00Happy New Year ladies!I have no idea why the "bowl...Happy New Year ladies!<BR/><BR/>I have no idea why the "bowl" games are called "bowls". I googled and tried about.com. If someone knows the answer, I'd like to hear it! The Super Bowl is for professional football. The Sugar, Rose, Armed Services, Music City, Texas, etc are all for college football teams. I'll be dreaming about this tonight!Snaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16648866385164116020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823099189127138897.post-16804014991980613042008-12-31T19:52:00.000-06:002008-12-31T19:52:00.000-06:00Happy New Year!!!!Why do you call it bowl?
