Unless you are driving. I selected a flight that came in on the day of the game. 12-28 (most of the Bowl activities are that day because it is a night game)  and left the 29th with a hotel and the deal came to just above $300......  The same deal but to BHam came out to 400

It's texas or nothing for me.  I can't make B'ham on the 23rd - family commitments.

Thanks for the research!

I wish the BHAM bowl would change its date in the future. I am going to go no matter what, but I can see many fans not going because it is right before XMAS eve.

Tampa to Houston is about 1000 miles... about 13-15 hours by car.

Bham means I could still have the little ones tucked in by 2am-ish christmas eve day which means they could still act civil towards guests... Texas? We are heading to cayman islands on 30th and I AM NOT TAKING KIDS ON 15 HOUR TRIP ONLY TO THEN PUT THEM ON PLANE THE NEXT DAY..   Sorry for the rant but I really want B-Ham, I would hate to miss a bowl game...
