The 99th edition of “The Granddaddy of Them All,” will feature a familiar face in the Wisconsin Badgers, who are making their third straight Rose Bowl appearance, and a welcome return to the Stanford Cardinal, who have secured a spot in the prestigious game for the first time since 2000. Interestingly enough, the last time Stanford competed in the Rose Bowl also was against Wisconsin, with the Badgers prevailing, 17-9, for their third title in school history. Wisconsin was edged in its last two Rose Bowl Game appearances versus TCU and Oregon in 2011 and 2012, while Stanford's last bowl game victory was in the 2011 Orange Bowl over Virginia Tech. The Cardinal last won the Rose Bowl back in 1972 over Michigan.
Reserve your seats for this premier New Year’s Day sporting event with 2013 Rose Bowl tickets for the annual showdown in Pasadena on Jan 1. Widely known as one of the most attended bowl games in college football, this year will certainly be no different, so you’ll want to plan early, and be sure to make arrangements to witness all of the exciting festivities leading up to the game including the traditional Tournament of Roses Parade, which is entering its 124th year.
