Saw this thread on the CUSA Board and it may or may not have any credibility, but . . .
New Bowl in Boca Raton?
hear rumors about a new bowl game in Boca Raton in the near future. ADT as title sponsor. To be played in FAU's new stadium. SBC vs SEC/BE/ACC.

Interesting… our ad had said that our game at FAU next year was a "dress rehearsal" for a bowl game. Coincidence?

This should open up other bowls for CUSA. ;-)

Re: New Bowl in Boca Raton at FAU! Rumor?
first of all, why does everyone thinnk Boca Raton is an "old people" town? The median age is 42…hellooooooo?!
*Bueller*…….*Bueller*…….
secondly, its is so comical how these malinformed "fans" (like the guy from mephis, whose team got waxed by TWO SBC OPPONENTS this year) want to talk smack…
brign your sorry team down here (regardless of where the game is played) and we'll see what happens…
lastly, they are all too dumb to realize that if this possiblity becomes a reality, which it very well may, it would be there OWN BID that gets the wax to open it up for our new stadium…
im starting to like Mr Ho's prediciton that the cusa remorphs into something different and the SBC gets USM, etc more and more…
But they need to lay off HS…not a one of them has done anything, or accomplished anything that even permits them to openly criticize an iconic head coach like him…and i would say this even if i wasnt an Owl fan…give respect where it is due…dumba$$es…….
ok, im done now…….

Re: New Bowl in Boca Raton at FAU! Rumor?
The thing about adding bowl games, or getting NCAA-sanctioning, is that some existing bowls don't draw all that well. I wonder whether a failing bowl might be moved. But when you think of the attractiveness of South Florida in the winter, and the area's capability for drawing and entertaining snowbirds from all over, perhaps there is a chance. After all, the Orange Bowl stadium, may it rest in peace, is going away. ProPlayer/Joe Robbie/Dolphins Stadium (whatever it is these days) already has something going, I think. The new FIU Stadium won't be big enough, at least at the start.
One other thing to consider: I always have wondered why Chattanooga gets the Division I-AA championship every year. If you were following your team through the I-AA playoffs, would you rather have a weekend in Chattanooga or in South Florida? My understanding is that this is open to bids.

He's full of rumors, but interestingly never has sources for any of them…….

Let's ignore their comments and talk about the subject - this is the first I've heard about a bowl in Boca. Is there any substance to the rumor?
that is part of the subject - substance…did you read the comments? they purport it is a rediculous notion…
persoanlly, i dont see why…
and whats wrong with 30,000 seats for a Bowl?
Here's last years Bowl Attendance figures for lesser Bowls…surprise surprise…now how rediculous is the notion of a Bowl in Boca in a BRAND NEW Stadium that holds 30k?? ;)
26,423 New Orleans Bowl
26,717 International Bowl
31,470 Champs Sports Bowl (held in Orlando, Florida)
32,023 PapaJohns .com Bowl
36,847 Ponsietta Bowl
Avg = 30.7k
