California city, host to the college football Rose Bowl Game (8)

I believe the answer is:

pasadena

(Other definitions for pasadena that I've seen before include "city in 23 [CALIFORNIA]" , "US city" , "place in California" , "City in Los Angeles County" , "California city of the Rose Bowl stadium" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
