"Los Angeles-based architecture firm Jerde has been tapped to reimagine the Rose Bowl Stadium property in Pasadena," reports Steven Sharp.

"Jerde, which provided design services for the 1984 Summer Olympic Games, has been tasked with re-envisioning the Rose Bowl campus to address issues including accessibility, parking, and programming possibilities," adds Sharp.

The stadium portion of the Rose Bowl completed a $183 million renovation in 2016.
