Frustrations between lawyers in the Rose Bowl’s breach-of-contract case against UCLA seeped into the proceedings Tuesday during a spicy exchange in Los Angeles Superior Court. While discussing UCLA’s refusal to commit to the terms of a lease that binds it to play home games at the Rose Bowl through the 2043 season, an attorney for the plaintiffs expressed his exasperation at piecemeal pledges such as the school only agreeing to remain through the 2026 season. “This is like a shell game, your honor, and it’s so frustrating because we’ve been doing this for seven months and going through these sorts of machinations that I just think is inappropriate for such an easy case,” said Nima Mohebbi, an attorney representing the Rose Bowl Operating Co.
