We've had no presence on New Year's Day for several years now, and we will now play two bowls in open air baseball stadiums in cold weather cities.

How could you forget Boise, Idaho?

While cold Boise isn't a shithole like Detroit, Birmingham, or Shreveport, and at least it's in a proper football stadium with proper football sight lines.

What is it about Detroit, Birmingham and Shreveport that you describe them that way and not Boise?

Detroit is a burned out husk of a major city.

Shreveport is a backwater industrial town.

Birmingham is in a dump of a stadium located in a part of the crime infested town where you thank your lucky stars if your car still has it's wheels on it when you return from the game.

Boise is a growing city with world class ski resorts an easy drive from the city, and some of the most gorgeous countryside there is to see.
