Bahamas Bowl Game, Looks like if we win out we will be going to the Bahamas.

Game Date: Thursday, Dec. 24, 2015
Game Time: Noon ET

I just checked my passport, heads up to yall who are going to travel to the bowl game if it turns out to be the Bahamas Bowl! Check your passport expiration date!!!

Passport current and ready to go!

Ours are ready, this is actually the one we were/are hoping for...

Does anyone know if there will be a fan package for bowl games? Do bowl games offer that kinda services to fans? Flight, Hotel and Game tickets?

I've been to Nassau 18 trips. I know where to stay and play and to avoid! I will share the good and bad if we are selected to the Bahamas Bowl.

ODU says travel packages will be announced after we find out which game we're in

Sweet! Is this something you heard or found on the web?

According to MTSU fans on the conference board if they are bowl eligible they are a lock to go to the Bahamas. ODU if we make it to 6 wins may end up in Arizona or New Mexico.

But in all honesty I have no idea how the bowl selection process works. Wouldn't WKU, assuming the are champions, want the Heart of Dallas bowl and a P5 opponent? There's also talk of the Independence Bowl being a possibility due to a lack of bowl eligible teams. That would also be a P5 opponent.

This bowl business is new so please informed if I've missed something obvious.

from our website:
"ODU will be partnering with Anthony Travel to provide Fan Hotel Accommodations at an Official ODU Hotel for each Bowl. Package pricing will be determined based on Bowl location and specific package offerings will be made available after all Bowl bids are announced on Dec. 6."

CUSA champ gets to pick their destination, but past that it's kinda of a free for all.

From a selfish standpoint I'm rooting for New Orleans or Tuscon, as I would maybe be able to get to those games. Second choice would be Miami followed by Dallas hoping there are early morning flights on the 26th.

As for Bahamas, I have to send my passport to the Chinese consulate in New York for work this week so let's not leave the country.

I believe the conference makes the final decision, but teams can submit requests. I have heard ODU's first two requests are Miami and New Orleans.

The Bahamas Bowl is Dec. 24. No way I'll get permission to attend that.

I just informed the wife if ODU goes to the Bahamas Bowl It's Christmas in the Caribbean
