No Holiday Bowl this season due to the pandemic. Curious also with cost to run a bowl in a stadium barely being used how much longer it can last at Qualcomm or what ever its called now. I know Iowa-USC drew a decent crowd but maybe they need to look at moving it to the MLS park that will be built there.
A few new bowls are popping up in Myrtle Beach, Frisco Texas and Sofi Stadium.
The one of note here is the LA Bowl. It is in the brand new Rams stadium, a 5 billion dollar stadium. How soon till that stadium is a player in the major New Years Day 6, and along with the Las Vegas Bowl. These stadiums aren't going to sit out from having not being a major player in the college football world.
The Cotton Bowl moved from the Cotton Bowl on the grounds of the Texas State Fair to the Billion dollar stadium of Jerry World. The Rose Bowl is an epic setting but could something be moved to SoFi that upstages the Rose?
Las Vegas is just to much of a gold mine money pit for everyone involved to not be throw in there. It does get an upgrade soon with the SEC/BIG Ten partnerships.
I think we could see these New Year 6 expand to a New Years 8 with those 2 venues.
