5 yrs. from bussiness stand point, doesn't make sence.

makes sense when you see the new cotton backed by Jones and the city throw in major bucks to get put in there.

It saddens me to hear that. I have fond memories of attending rock concerts at the Tangerine Bowl in the 1980s. Would not like to see that stadium go under.

Yeah...me too.

Saw the Stones there in 1981 as they were the biggest thing to hit Orlando since Diseny.

PS. Van Halen was on the under-card that day (they were unbelievable back in the day) and I think it was their "Diver Down" album that had a photo taken from behind the stage that day in Orlando with the back T-Bowl in the background.

You can clearly see the old 3rd deck on the East Side...which was soon torn down afterwards because it swayed...and it was finally replaced 8-10 yrs later with the larger concrete deck that was added to both sides.

Citrus Bowl bonus: For those sitting on the 2nd level East side...enjoy the old "troughs" in the men's room!

I was at that show. I remember that the tickets were $18 (payable months in advance by mail order), and I swore I would NEVER pay $18 for a concert again. Little did I know how true that was.

Good show, too. I can't remember who came on before Van Halen. I do know that it nearly cost me big time. I had an exam the next day and failed it miserably.

They also used to hold the Florrida Jam there ever summer, and I saw quite a few of those. I think the last time I was in that stadium was a Genesis concert. The place was already a pit by then.

IIRC, a lot of those 80s shows, like the Who in 82, Journey in 83 and the Police in 83 were billed as "rock superbowls".

stadium is nice, but nausating with all cowboy crap.

Jerry essentially bought the Cotton Bowl for himself last year. He might as well change the name.

I don't see any benifit for 4 BCS bowls letting Cotton bowl in.
However I could see CFB pulling NCG from BCS bowls & taking
50 million dollars from Jerry Jones.
If you pull NCG from BCS, are those games worth 36 million apiece.
