Can't be the Orange Bowl. One of the best venues.

Really??? I always thought Dallas was a pretty nice city.. Only been there once but everything I saw looked pretty cool... A dry county kinda sucks though....

Dallas is a cool city. I liked it when I lived in Houston and spent a month working in Dallas.

The trip to the NCG in Miami made up three of the best days of my life, and that's even including ND getting drilled. Awesome trip.

I've been to Jerryworld, too, although for a regular season game (ND vs. Arizona State) not a bowl. It was pretty meh. To be fair, we were only in Dallas the day of the game, and didn't really do anything besides tailgate/go to the game but it just felt off a bit. Stadium is incredible though.

Heading to Glendale in a few weeks. If it's like Miami was (i.e. a lot of fun things happening in a different part of the metro, and a fun game-day atmosphere in Glendale), I'll take it.

The Orange Bowl is fine. The new stadium renovations are great. If the destination includes the city itself, Miami/Ft. Lauderdale should not be on any "worst" list. There is a reason why so many ballers and captains of industry reside in South Florida.

Dallas has terrible strip clubs.

I'm spoiled being in the Portland area but damn did it suck.

Yes, but TX is the same. Weather in the winter and there is also a "homestead exemption" that's different from the one in LA. Creditors can take everything, but your house is exempt from creditors in FL.

Bowl Prestige: Orange IMO


Clearly you don't know the history of the Orange Bowl. The Fiesta didn't have hardly any prestige until 1998 or so. You had that one game between #1 Miami and #2 Penn State in 1987 and that was just about it until the mid-90s.

Sure, but how many Orange Bowls have been worth a shite in recent years?

Has nothing to do with the destination. This year's OB should be good.

Besides, if you get a chance you should probably grab it while Miami's above water.

It's Atlanta and it's not close.

Anyone saying the Cotton Bowl has never been there. They do team hospitality better than just about any bowl in America.

When bama played Dame, I had a blast. Had a bama alum in town with me all weekend.

South beach was 80% Dame fans and had a blast partying with you guys and doing your chants and cheers to annoy my bama buddy.

Who gives a frick about the Peach Bowl? Seriously, how did that bowl game even make the CFB playoff rotation? They should have chosen the Capital One Bowl or Holiday Bowl or even the Outback Bowl before the Peach Bowl.

Outback bowl should be in the rotation before the Peach Bowl, but Chick Fil A must be making that straight cash contribution.

I'm surprised I put Orange. I've always thought Fiesta in terms of prestige, I don't know what I was thinking earlier.

Oh well.
