For many college football fans, the tailgating experience is a good part of the allure, and few bowl games really let you have anything close to that.

The Sugar Bowl is an awesome bowl destination. The French Quarter on New Years Eve was one of the best experiences of my life.

The Liberty Bowl in Memphis is also a pretty good destination.

Agree. Always figured Santa Clara would be a short term move that wouldn't prove to help that much. Las Vegas is the best location possible and doesn't need to move.

Hopefully the Redbox Bowl & Las Vegas Bowl swap rotation for PAC-12.
