The stadium is not only used for the Rose Bowl game itself, but is the home football field for UCLA.

It is also one of two stadiums to have hosted the FIFA World Cup finals for both men and women; it hosted the men's final in 1994 and the women's final in 1999. The other stadium with this honor is the Råsunda in Stockholm, which hosted the men's final in 1958 and the women's final in 1995.
