NFL teams won't be playing their home games at the Rose Bowl. (USATSI)

According to a report from the Los Angeles Times, the Rose Bowl will not become the temporary home of any NFL franchise that moves to Los Angeles while awaiting construction of a new stadium.

By an 11-0 vote Wednesday night, the Rose Bowl Operating Co. decided not to respond to a request for proposal the NFL sent last month to at least five local venues, the others being the Coliseum, Dodger Stadium, Angel Stadium and StubHub Center.

As recently as mid-June, the Rose Bowl was being described as one of the "leading candidates" to play temporary host to the Rams, Raiders and/or Chargers, each of whom has submitted a proposal to the league office in hopes of being able to move to the Los Angeles area, where the league expects to have at least one team playing by the 2016 season.

However, the Rose Bowl Operating Co. (RBOC) decided against moving forward with that plan. “We believe that a music and arts festival is more fitting with Pasadena's brand and with the future of the stadium,” said RBOC president Victor Gordo, per the Times. “With our desire to have certainty of finances of the stadium, and to have a world-class event that's fitting of the city.

“The distraction that the NFL question poses at this time could take away from our collective efforts as a city to realize a music and arts festival. What you saw from the board today is we don't want that distraction.”

Our Jason La Canfora reported back in February that the Raiders will be headed to LA no matter what, whether it's with the Chargers or Rams. Whoever winds up making the move will just have to look elsewhere while they wait for a new stadium to be built.
