I remember some discussion that USF could also consider the site for a FB stadium because it wasn't far from their St. Petersburg campus...

The question for the Bowl Game is what happens to the game if the stadium isn't there?

If ESPN wants to keep the bowl game in a baseball stadium they can move it to Marlins Stadium in Miami. I hear there is an AAC Bowl vacancy spot there now. For what it is worth since ESPN owns the bowl they probably could move it anywhere they want too especially if it means getting two P5 conferences involved in it. St Louis has an empty indoor stadium during the Christmas holidays now, within driving distance of B10, B12, and SEC schools. ESPN will just have to rename the bowl after its new location. AKA the new Frisco Bowl. Hopefully it would remain in Sunny Florida with the AAC and ACC associated with it though.

Keep it in Tampa Bay...make CUSA the preferred backup. Should be ACC Vs AAC...and pre Christmas on hopefully a Thursday/Friday/Saturday

Set it up for a 6-6 or 7-5 ACC team versus the 3rd to 5th place AAC team

Even though Bad Boy is a cool name...gotta try to get Allegiant Airlines to sponsor. They should be all over it and should be able to add extra flights for football fans into PIE from the visiting teams home areas.
