The Super Bowl finally returned to L.A. for the first time in 29 years at the newly built SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA which houses both the Rams and Chargers. However, the last Superbowl here was actually in Pasadena at the Rose Bowl. The very first Superbowl was held at the Coliseum in Downtown Los Angeles In 1967 and the last time it was held there was in 1973 so this could be considered the first one in L.A. in almost 50 years.
