Legendary 90,000-capacity World Cup final stadium EVACUATED as deadly wildfires rage nearby
As enormous wildfires continue to blaze in Los Angeles, THE ROSE BOWL has been evacuated.
The terrible fire has destroyed over 1,000 structures in California and left two people dead and numerous others injured.
The Rose Bowl, one of college football’s most famous stadiums and the site of the 1994 World Cup final, is currently encroaching on the flames.
The 90,000-seat facility is included in the fresh evacuation alerts that have been issued in Pasadena, according to the Associated Press.
According to the same source, there are at least four distinct fires raging from Pasadena to the interior Pacific Coast.
The fires in the area are already being fought by thousands of firefighters.
Off-duty firefighters were asked to assist by the Los Angeles Fire Department.
However, firefighting aircraft were unable to fly due to the severe weather.
Fire authorities are expecting to get the flights up shortly, but this has made it more difficult to put out the wildfires.
Five Super Bowls have been held at the Rose Bowl, which is the third-highest number ever played at one location.
And 21 years ago, Italy and Brazil played their legendary World Cup final there.
A penalty shootout was used to determine the winner after the game ended in a goalless tie.
Roberto Baggio famously hit the ball over the crossbar at that point, and Brazil was proclaimed the champions.
