ROSE BOWL QUARTERBACKS CLUB WELCOMES COLLEGE FOOTBALL AND ROSE BOWL HALL OF FAMER MONTEE BALL
Three-time Rose Bowl Game® participant to headline the second Rose Bowl Quarterbacks Club Meeting on the 2026 Season
PASADENA, Calif. (October 6, 2026) The Rose Bowl Quarterbacks Club will welcome College Football and Rose Bowl Hall of Famer Montee Ball as its featured guest on Thursday, October 15th, as the iconic football tradition continues its 81st season inside the new Rose Bowl Field Club.
The new Rose Bowl Field Club provides an intimate setting allowing Quarterbacks Club members and guests an opportunity to hear directly from Ball about his playing career, his Rose Bowl Stadium experiences and his perspective on the game of college football. Doors will open at 11:30 AM, with the program beginning at 12:15 PM in the Kohorst Family Lounge at the Rose Bowl Field Club.
The Rose Bowl Quarterbacks Club also provides an opportunity for guests to entertain friends, clients and colleagues while connecting with the rich history and tradition of the Rose Bowl.
Montee Ball was one of the most prolific running backs in college football history. Ball enjoyed a record-setting career at the University of Wisconsin before continuing to the NFL with the Denver Broncos. A two-time Doak Walker Award finalist and 2011 Heisman Trophy finalist, Ball helped lead the Badgers to three Rose Bowl Game appearances and established himself as one of the most accomplished players in college football history.
Ball currently ranks No. 2 all-time in college football history in rushing touchdowns and remains the only player to rush for 100 yards in three Rose Bowl Games. His historic career earned him induction into both the College Football Hall of Fame and the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame.
