The first Rose Bowl football game took place in Pasadena, California in 1902 between Stanford University and the University of Michigan. Michigan defeated Stanford 49-0. The lopsided score prompted the Tournament of Roses to give up football in favor of Roman-style chariot races. The "Granddaddy of Them All" football game would not return to Pasadena until 1916.
