Wonder why they have decided to turn down the chance to host this Bowl Game??

Because Dallas and New Orleans are the front runners for the first Champions Bowl.

Why not enter the rotation?

I didn't get the impression that they dropped out entirely.

Just looking to announce first site.

I heard that they wanted RayJay to add extra seats and upgrade the stadium facilities a bit... it makes no sense because the Superdome is waaayyy out of date.

From what I have understood is that it will not be a rotated site.

They renovated a good portion of the Super Dome after Katrina.

Stadiums bring out of date is a farce created by professional sports team owners to get communities to build newer venues with more money making amenities for the owners.

The Superdome might not be Cowboys Stadium, but it's very nice.

...well, given the phenomenal success of the '08 ACC Championship game, surely...

There is nothing wrong with pulling out.... If we Tampa did not, we could not say with certantity that we had not created other little bowl games that will be running around in a year or so.... I say it's a very mature move....
