NFL Football at the Rose Bowl? (Discussion)

The NFL could be coming to the Rose Bowl on a temporary basis in the next few years, according to the Pasadena Star-News.

With two new stadium proposals in the area that are designed to bring a NFL team permanently to Southern California, the Rose Bowl could end up as a temporary venue while either of those projects was under construction, according to the Star-News story.

The city has commissioned a traffic study this month to see how the extra games at the Rose Bowl might impact local traffic.

The stadium is already used regularly during the autumn months for UCLA football home games--bringing the NFL to the area would mean eight additional days in which traffic picked up in areas around the Rose Bowl--including 210 Freeway outlets that connect to Altadena.  It could also mean weekends in which the area around the stadium is used both days.

In 2005, Pasadena residents voted down a plan that could have brought professional football to the area on a permanent basis.

So how will this affect Altadena?  Residents please weigh in below.  Does the existing traffic on UCLA game days bother you?  Do you use the Rose Bowl area for recreation and want to avoid increased use of the stadium?  Or is it easy for you to avoid the stadium and the increased local traffic?
