The city of Pasadena and the Rose Bowl operated Co Finger Wednesday night to force UCLA to honor the decades remaining in its 2044 uniforms.
The complaint, filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court against UCLA and the University of California arents, sent its football goal to Inglewood, “and it is called that Jehovah betrayed.”
UCLA’s lease expires on June 30, 2044, and Pasadena administrators say taxpayers have invested more than $150 million in renovations, while they recently promoted another $130 million in additional capital improvements.
“This law comes at a time when money often overwhelms what is said and the pursuit of profit threatens to erase the very traditions that breathe life into institutions,” the study reads.
“Some commitment is too important to be passed on.”
The filing alleged that UCLA, after years of public assurances that “it has now chosen to ignore those promises” and has officially informed the plaintiffs that “they are living the way we have been living for a long time.”
Although UCLA must file a formal response in the direction, the university disputed the allegations of the show included in the filing. In a letter to Pasadena’s attorney, Nima Mohebbi, UCLA without counsel David L. Schrader wrote in March that a university that had violated the RBOC would be entitled to a statutory or equitable remedy. “
Schrader wrote that UCLA “continues to evaluate its strategic goals and how it can be financially viable and how well it does its job.”
The lawsuit asks for a court order requiring UCLA to honor its lease.
The filing states that it would greatly harm Pasadena and the stadium to break the agreement, that residents are not owed dollars (or more), “and that financial damages will never violate UCLA’s law.”
A spokesperson for the UCLA ATHLETOTEC Thais department did not immediately respond Wednesday night to a request for comment.
Home attendance at the Stadium located 26 miles from campus has been a major concern in recent seasons for UCLA. The team averaged 35,253 fans through their four home games this season, tying them for the all-time record in the Rose Bowl.
The Bruins’ worst five-time streak since advancing to the Rose Bowl in 1982 has been the last five times uninterrupted by 1,624.
