They have 1 & do a bowl game there, answer with facts not questions please,

or just say in my opinion, it would be more expensive, but I have no financial facts to back it up.

Because in my opinion, most people would rather watch a Bowl game whether in person or on TV, in the Bahamas and Boca Raton and I don't think it is close. You "feel" differently, that's okay, but unless you have financial facts that say otherwise, I am not buying your point of view. Both Pinstripe and Fenway will likely be cold non-events, especially in NYC and Boston. The empty cold stadiums will not look good on TV. I think along with the zipper model scheduling, this is another swing and a miss by Swofford, if I may use a baseball analogy, in those baseball stadiums.

The location of schools has little to do with these bowls

You would have to show me the numbers to convince me of that.

Yeah the Pro Bowl in Hawaii was such a draw

How many ready football facilities do you know of the Bahamas

FWIW a college football game can be played on a football (soccer) pitch

Well I think 90 percent of bowl games are unwatchable and worthless
