Cities that should have bowl games...

I have always wondered why Denver does not have a bowl game.... Ski season alone should be more than enough reason to warrant this.
I can imagine a game at Mile High(awesome stadium BTW) bieng incredibly appealing to a lot of fan bases. Attract a good payout with the right sponsors and packages.
Has there ever been one???
I am not advocating for a new bowl game. Rather a bowl game in say; Shreveport, Ft Worth, or Detroit, should take advantage of the vacancy.
Seattle also comes to mind for similar reasons.

It would need to be a domed stadium. People don't want to travel to sit outside in the cold.

The armed forces bowl should not be moved out of Fort Worth. Did you ever wonder why it's called Fort Worth?

When will Smith & Wesson become title sponsor of the Motor City bowl? It's only appropriate...

Chicago-
Its a great city, and coming from BR, I'd actually love to see a snow bowl.
I caught a Bear/Pats game years ago- freezing cold but a bluebird day-(the cold was not a prob w/ the hunting gear, but not a lot of cammo there- they gave me and my cammo a lot of clearance.) I was hoping for a blizzard (which came a day later)
I think it would be better than Denver/Boulder, but that would also be a great site

Just take the potato bowl from Boise and give it to anyone else. I don't think the cold is a problem if people are willing to host a December bowl in Boise. At least put it in a more attractive cold-weather city, like the afforementioned Denver or Chicago.
Boise, Idaho
. I mean, really? They used to have an ACC tie-in!

I know San Diego has the Holiday Bowl but I'd like to see another bowl game there.

Seattle had one but it didn't survive.

A Denver bowl game would work, especially if they had an SEC/ACC tie in.

Instead of implying to me that there are reasons for the Armed Forces bowl to be in Ft. Worth, how about you tell me???
Moving the Armed Forces Bowl to Denver would still make sense as the Air Force Academy is located an hour south of Denver.

More so a stadium than city, I've always loved the idea of seeing a bowl game in The Shoe. Add Beaver and the Big House to that(would be fun to see such large stadiums filled 50/50 with opposing fan bases.

A northern bowl with southern tie-ins would work. Chicago or even NY during X-mas season would be a great draw.

Penn State may end up needing the extra revenue generated by a Bowl Game. Have it sposored by the Second MIle.
However, put new bowl games in "destination" cities.
Columbus, State College, Ann Arbor, Cleveland, and Detroit are the last places to put a bowl game.

The Little Cesear's Pizza Bowl at least has tie-ins to the MAC and big ten so it makes some sense.

Cleveland is the ultimate destination city.

Is there a bowl in Indianapolis or st Louis?
Posted on 11/18/11 at 3:24 pm to cjared036
Chicago really.
A B1G v SEC bowl would be a definite sellout considering the large alumni population.
Just have to deal with the cold and the wind.
