What BCS Bowl City is the best in your opinion? It's hard to beat New Orleans and Miami. They have hosted the most Super Bowls. My list is below with reasons:

1. New Orleans-Sugar Bowl - Everything is close together (hotels, restaurants, french quarter) and the Sugar Bowl is very prestigious (SEC Champs Home).

2. Miami-Orange Bowl - South Beach, tropical weather, enough said

3. Pasadena-Rose Bowl - Granddaddy of them all. Awesome climate, historic venue, Hollywood/LA.

4. Glendale-Fiesta Bowl - Worst site in my opinion because the Fiesta Bowl lacks history and prestige. Awesome golf courses and nice weather.

Sadly New Orleans is the only one of those cities I've been to.

See I live in Miami and I think the Orange Bowl kinda sucks....the stadium is just too far from Miami itself to really make me happy

I don't like indoor stadiums so New Orleans is out. I have always liked the Rose Bowl venue. I go with that one.

If only talking about sites to visit, don't underrate Glendale. Some fantastic golf courses and places to stay. All are great options though and have their own things to offer. If talking about just watching your team play, I'd put the Rose Bowl. It's the most historic venue and game, similar to watching your favorite baseball team play in the playoffs at Wrigley or Fenway. Orange Bowl would be last IMO because that stadium fricking blows.

I would say:

1. Rose Bowl
2. Sugar - not really a fan of the dome, but NOLA is a good time and the Sugar bowl has great history
3. Fiesta - Stadium is very cool, and the Phoenix area is nice. We had a blast out there last year
4. Orange - Stadium blows, and I am personally not a huge fan of Miami.

Huh?
Last years Rose Bowl was a real good game.

Ohio State Oregon was 2 point game until Ohio State's TD in the 4th. (2010 Rose Bowl)

Any Opponent USC played they did rape.

To think about it, there have been more shitty games in BCS Bowls than Good Games of Recent.
Ya those Sugar Bowls with Utah, Hawaii and Cinci sure were great.
Or what about last years Fiesta Bowl with Uconn, and the Orange Bowl was a complete shite show.

Ohio State didn't really blow them out. They scored one TD and made it 26-17 with 7 minutes to go.

Yeah I agree with the Rose Bowl...awesome site! I like Miami and the Orange Bowl would be awesome if they had better teams playing in it.

Other than the BCS National championship, I think that will be the best game.

Both bring high speed no huddle offenses and shite defenses.

Should see a close shootout.

I think Michigan womps Va Tech, Stanford will be the first physical Defense Oklahoma State has seen all year, and Oregon runs circles on Wisconsin.

I'm luck enough to have seen Alabama play in all four of these major bowls in my lifetime, plus the Cotton Bowl (it was once a major bowl and will be again). Though the Rose Bowl is debatable as it was just the hosting site, and not the game itself.

Gump, what bowl and site was your favorite? Which one did you enjoy the most?
