Join me as Derek Doolittle, General Manager at the Rose Bowl, and I reminisce about growing up watching the Rose Bowl and the mystic the stadium and game hold. Derek also walks us through his career and the steps he made leading up to his position at the Rose Bowl. He then details what makes the Rose Bowl so great and all the historic events hosted at the stadium. Also, no episode would be complete without the weekly wildcard.

Join me as Randy Philipson and I take a deep dive into stadium design, construction, and staffing.
