But some of the comments I've read along the lines of "It shouldn't be in NYC because nobody in NYC likes college football," etc., are a bit off base. I expect there will be a crowd, and it will be a mix of a lot of different fan bases. Maaaannny schools have large alumni bases in New York. And most of the big schools have an unofficial official game-watch bar or two in the city. We should see lots of Big Ten, ACC, SEC, etc. fans showing up.

completely agree on your second paragraph. people love football pretty much everywhere. is it a religion like it is in Texas or Mississippi? of course not, but it's our country's most popular sport.

on the first paragraph, I don't even agree with those complaints. I think a lot of people just fear change, and everything should just stay the same all the time. no evolving. just because it's always been done that way doesn't make it the best way. i'm not arguing with you, Madizoned, i'm talking about the people bitching about it. let's try something new and see if it works (i'm telling all of you that it is going to be an enormous hit).
