In a class by itself

We arrived at the press box early for the Rose Bowl and what a gorgeous venue it is.

I had not remembered it being quite this beautiful in 1995.

The only stadium I can recall being this picturesque is Brigham Young in Provo, Utah, where the snow-capped mountains provide a magnificent backdrop.

The Rose Bowl is incredibly colorful and equally breathtaking, with million-dollar homes overlooking the stadium.

Here's hoping the Nits' performance matches the site.

Happy New Year!
