Site bidding for 2016 and 2017 national title games

Quote:Sources told ESPN cities that have indicated they will bid on the Jan. 11, 2016, game include Glendale, Ariz.; Jacksonville, Fla.; New Orleans; and Tampa, Fla.

Cities that will bid on the Jan. 9, 2017, game include Jacksonville, Miami, San Antonio, San Francisco and Tampa.

Other cities considering a bid on either game include Atlanta, Minneapolis and Arlington, Texas, sources said.

Cities hosting the semifinals are not eligible to host the national title game in the same year. So Miami (Orange Bowl) and Arlington (Cotton Bowl) cannot bid for the 2016 title game, and Glendale (Fiesta Bowl) and Atlanta (Chick-fil-A Bowl) may not bid on the 2017 game.

Surprised that Indianapolis isn't bidding.

One issue with most of the NFL stadiums is that they might be hosting a playoff game on Saturday or Sunday just before the Monday national title game. Most, not all. As part of their sales pitch, the Jacksonville group can point out that their NFL team has no chance of hosting a playoff game. 03-nutkick

My law firm represents the Superdome Commission.

I am hoping that New Orleans gets a game or two.

Site bidding for 2016 and 2017 national title games
At least at an indoor facility, the venue can have a "college" turf and a "NFL" turf that can be switched in a matter of hours. Even if the venue only has one turf, the field can be repainted.

With an outdoor surface, painting the field for a short turnaround could be problematic in wet weather. An indoor venue has a leg up on an outdoor venue in that regard.

Of course, an NFL team has a 2 out of 16 chance of hosting a playoff game that weekend anyway. I'm sure the NFL can work around it. The main burden may be finding suitable practice facilities for the teams in the CFP title game. Hotel rooms would also be at a greater premium in the host city that weekend.

I got a kick out of these two back to back statements:

ESPN Wrote:The possibility of a nationally significant college football game taking place on Big Ten soil has been dealt a significant blow, at least in the short term.

followed by this one

ESPN Wrote:The Big Ten football championship game will be played at Lucas Oil Stadium through 2015, and possibly longer.

Yeah, Rittenberg should know better.

The intent I'm sure was to play up to the well-understood reality that bowl and championship games mostly don't get played in "Big Ten territory".

With the Big Ten Championship game seeing a huge decline in attendance last year I'm thinking that they don't want even more competition for fan dollars in the city.

Atlanta will bid on 2018 CFP title game, but not 2016, per a press release issued today.

(Atlanta can't bid on 2017 b/c they host a CFP semifinal in 2017.)

I'm rooting for Minneapolis sooooo hard so we can all witness the spectacle of Southerners dragging themselves to Minnesota in the dead of winter.

Classic. They may not even be there by 2016-17.

Quote:Four cities have bid on the 2016 College Football Playoff championship and six cities will pursue the 2017 title game, it was announced Monday.

Glendale, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla., New Orleans and Tampa, Fla., are pursuing the 2016 game. Officials will choose between San Francisco, Jacksonville, Minneapolis, San Antonio, South Florida and Tampa for the 2017 title game.

The host sites are expected to be chosen by the end of the year.
