College stadiums on college campuses couldn't sell alcohol until a few years ago, so bowl games were held in stadiums that pro teams or localities own.

The Austin bowl would be kind of cool, but ESPN would love to have a Christmas Day bowl game in L.A. in that new stadium the Rams and Chargers will be in. I could see them holding it in the Stubhub Center until that stadium opens.

If only another 10 would follow it. Then another 10. ** -- UEMcGill 01/27/2017 10:50PM

Never understood why anyone cares. Lower tier bowls are -- hokie-c 01/28/2017 09:22AM

Some folks just bow to the altar of tradition. It's sad. -- chuckd4vt 01/28/2017 2:56PM

So you would be fine with VT playing a regular season game on Tue or Wed? -- VTHokie2000 01/30/2017 2:53PM

All the more reason to support the smaller bowls -- Vienna_Hokie 02/06/2017 9:56PM

Bowl season gets ESPN ratings they wouldn't get otherwise... -- BROman Hokie 01/27/2017 2:31PM

Yeah, something like 2M + people watched whatever bowl Ohio U played in. -- reestuart 01/27/2017 2:35PM

I happen to like college football. Better than guys like him talking. ** -- chuckd4vt 01/27/2017 1:56PM

I'm certainly not a fan of all of the games, but they're only a nuisance -- reestuart 01/27/2017 12:59PM

I record them all so I have something to watch during baseball season. ** -- Byting Gobbler 02/03/2017 8:49PM

Welp. No bowls for BYU. That was their bowl. -- HOO86 01/26/2017 11:14AM

I'd bet they end up with a Hawaii Bowl tie in. Or Las Vegas. ** -- reestuart 01/26/2017 12:30PM

Hawaii would make sense since they have a campus on Oahu. ** -- HOO86 01/26/2017 1:41PM

Yeah, I think they've got a tie-in once over the next few years... -- reestuart 01/26/2017 2:08PM

I wish the bowls in crappy locations would do this; SD is a good location -- WestyHokie 01/26/2017 09:49AM

They should put one in the FargoDome -- Victor Tango 01/26/2017 09:19AM

At least the game would be inside...the Wriggly bowl is even dumber -- Vienna_Hokie 01/28/2017 6:19PM
