With A New Stadium, Could Unt Host A Bowl?

[e-bone ver2.awesome]

There really seems to be a lack of stadium talk, so I wanted to ask this question.

Could UNT host a bowl eventually if we had a new stadium? What kind of revenue could a bowl bring to the school and area?

Discuss.

I doubt it with 2 others already close by.

Not with a 35k stadium and a town full of crappy hotels. Maybe after we expand to 50k and the Rayzor Ranch is completed.

No...this is Denton

doesn't denton already host the gmg.com bowl?

I agree. I think there simple isn't enough room in this town for two bowl games. That would just be greedy.

I have a feeling that it could eventually, look at Boise State they are able to host a bowl game every year and i know Denton is more attractive area then anywhere in Idaho. One of those bowls that are around us could move up here or with all the additions of bowl games that seem to happen every year you never know we could get one eventually but nothing in the near future

One new bowl if 5 others fold.

That's my criteria.

Too many of them already.

Boise is a pretty city. *shrug*

There was a reason Boise got added. The Big West needed a Bowl at the time, and they probably had the best stadium, so there it is. The City of Boise has supported the hell outta the game, even when the Broncos don't go - thus it's stayed around even when people have been predicting it to stop for about 6 years now.

Would Denton support a Bowl in NT wasn't playing? Hell would they support one we WERE playing in?

The Big West wanted to go to Reno but the good folks there weren't interested in installing the needed lighting (official reason). Real reason was that the AD at Reno didn't want a bowl sucking sponsorship money out of the community.

I bet Oklahoma City would get a bowl before Denton. I would not be surprised however if one day the Sugar Bowl was played at Cowboy Stadium.
