What's the worst 'BCS' destination?

Is it easily the Fiesta Bowl? Multiple people I know who head to pretty much every bowl tOSU ends up in are forgoing this years matchup due to a lousy destination.
For those that have been, is it really as lousy as everyone seems to think it is? Is it the worst of the bunch or is there one that tops it? I've only been to the Sugar Bowl, which was obviously a good time, so I thought I'd ask here.

Orange Bowl

I wouldn't want to do it many times, but the Fiesta Bowl is fine. Venue is fine. Glendale sucks but there is enough to do around the stadium. You can stay in Scottsdale, which is nice.
When we went a lot of people, including us, did some sort of trip either to Vegas or Sedona or both. Guess you could also do Flagstaff.

The Orange Bowl is in the middle of nowhere. The stadium is usually half-empty. The games are largely forgettable, including their championship games. I can't remember the last time an exciting AND meaningful game was played there. What--Nebraska's first NC under Osborne?
It used to be one of the best, if not THE best. Now it's crap because of the stadium change, the end of the Big 8 Conference, and the decline of their "money schools" (Miami, Nebraska, Oklahoma).

The worst stadium would have to go to Miami although as pretty and scenic as the Rose Bowl the seating situation might be worse.
Aa far as the overall experience goes I wouldn't be too excited for trips to Atlanta or Glendale.

Dallas is a shithole and the Cotton Bowl is in Arlington.
Hard pass.

Agreed. Dallas is even worse than NO.
Posted on 12/18/15 at 5:47 pm to BuckeyeFan87
Honestly, all of the locations are kinda meh.
Except for Pasadena, I guess.

If we're talking destination/area as a whole, I'd say Glendale is just fine. If you're in Ohio, why wouldn't you want to go to Pasadena/LA, Glendale/Phoenix/Scottsdale, New Orleans, or Miami in January? I think all of those places offer lots to do in the area, with New Orleans being the one that stands out with the best things to do right around the stadium. Dallas and Atlanta on the other hand, meh.

Not really. There is nothing around it, but it is about 3 miles west of interstate 95. 1 mile to the east of 95 from the Orange Bowl is Aventura, Sunny Isles, and Hollywood. All great areas with great beaches and a lot of $10-$50 million dollar homes in Golden Beach. Also, Gulfstream casino is 8 miles away, the Seminole hardrock is 6 miles away. Both are MASSIVE entertainment and shopping venues with about 150 dining places, shops, bars, clubs and casinos between them. Seminole Hardrock happens to be the single most profitable casino in the world with a few thousand people there every weekend.
Then 15 miles north is Fort Lauderdale and 15 miles south is South Beach, Miami, etc.
If you are talking destinations, I put the Orange Bowl #1 and Rose Bowl #2 and everything else quite a bit below. At either of those locations, you could spend a month and still not even see or do a fraction of stuff to do for tourists or residents in those areas.
