Some Rose Bowl traditions axed this year. Here's why

Teams used to arrive in Southern California about a week before the Jan. 1 game to participate in the cherished activities.
The article from MSN discusses changes to the traditional Rose Bowl game due to its relocation from Pasadena, California, to San Diego for the 2024 season. This move was necessitated by a scheduling conflict with the College Football Playoff semifinals, which are set to occur on January 1, 2025, the same day as the traditional Rose Bowl. As a result, several iconic traditions will be altered or omitted: the Tournament of Roses Parade, which typically features elaborate floats, will not occur; the Rose Queen and her court will not be present; and the customary flyover by military aircraft will be absent. Additionally, the game will not be held in the historic Rose Bowl Stadium, impacting the overall experience and atmosphere of the event. This shift has caused disappointment among fans and participants who cherish these long-standing traditions.
