New Year’s in Pasadena

Although the U fell to the Ohio State Buckeyes 48-45 in the 2022 Rose Bowl, the experience and impact overall was still very much a win. An estimated 16.6 million people tuned in, making it the second-most-viewed non-semifinal New Year’s Six bowl game of the College Football Playoff era. U alumni also partnered with the Los Angeles Food Bank to donate and assemble nearly 3,000 boxes of food. Here, the marching band made its way through Pasadena in the Rose Parade for nearly 700,000 onlookers.
