Beats the hell out of playing the same ACC, Big 10, and Big 12 teams every year.

I'm sure they'll host a ton of shite when it's built. Annual season openers between big names, Super Bowls, etc.

Like JerryWorld.

A South Carolina vs. Arizona State matchup in Vegas would leave me penniless and permanently erect.

It would be fun. I think to make it work you would have to have it fall right behind the Sugar/Rose in the SEC/Pac12 bowl pecking order. After the newness wore off, I think you would see an attendance drop-off if it is matching 7-5/8-4 teams consistently.

I don't understand why you guys don't have a single bowl with the Pac-12. The ACC is geographically the furthest away from the Pac-12 and we have a bowl game with them.

That stadium will be off the chain.

Why wait for a Bowl Game. Vegas in September would beat the hell out of Atlanta or Dallas.

In.

Every 10 years or so Bama won't be in a New Years Six game and I'd love a Vegas trip for a Bowl Game.

Let Vegas host a CFB Playoff game. That would be a blast!

The problem is by the time the SEC Champ goes to the Playoffs, the #2 goes to the Sugar, a 3rd may be chosen to go to an "at-large" game that year. You're already on the 4th best team that usually goes to the Citrus or Outback so we're down to our 5th team before we choose someone to go out there and play.

We're not going to put this bowl ahead of traditional games.



Where as the PAC-12s 2nd best bowl game is the Alamo Bowl versus Big 12.. So they absolutely would send their #2 team to this bowl game if they could.
