In both cases it is merely renting.

Granted, it did no real damage and in fact the US was unaware of a specific risk to a football game. It is also true that Japanese submarines did shell the Pacific coast, although totally ineffectively.(12-31-2020, 02:07 PM)winflop Wrote: The last time the Rose Bowl wasn't played in Pasadena was in World War II when the threat was of being bombed by the Japanese Navy. That was an actual risk to the lives of those who would have attended. Plenty of examples of being able to have an outdoor sporting event with small numbers of socially distanced and masked attendees with zero COVID spread.Strange justification.
Japan had no aircraft capable of flying to LA and had very little ability to haul an entire task force to the West Coast. And once there, there was no way a football stadium in Pasadena would have been a key target. Japan never had any plan to attack the West Coast of the USA, other than by those nifty balloons, so the actual risk of death in Pasadena to the Japanese Navy was pretty close to zero throughout the war.
