From Pasadena Now: A Los Angeles Superior Court judge questioned Thursday whether the [Pasadena] City’s advance breach claim that UCLA signaled it would abandon the Rose Bowl years before its stadium agreement expires fits within the contract’s narrow arbitration clause. Judge Joseph Lipner took the matter under submission after oral arguments last week. City officials are now awaiting a ruling on the motion, which could ultimately open the door for UCLA to move its football games from the Rose Bowl to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood... City attorneys argue that mechanism applies only to routine, curable performance issues, not to efforts to terminate the agreement...
UCLA currently pays no rent to play at the Rose Bowl and does not receive revenue from the stadium’s luxury suites... Even if the judge orders arbitration, UCLA could still face substantial financial penalties if it ultimately leaves the Rose Bowl.
