Sun Belt gets new bowl game in Orlando vs. AAC

[jllanclos]

I want to go to this bowl only if we are representing the AAC.

Hell yes!

Orlando is not a bad spot for another Bowl game for the Sun Belt. I would rather go there as opposed to Montgomery, AL.

I would go as well. The kids can careless about Cajun Football but Disney and Universal are another story. It think we would take at least 30,000.

It will not be affiliated with the Florida Citrus Sports, which oversees Orlando’s Capital One Bowl and Russell Athletic Bowl.[/url]

Good, it won't be named after another piece of fruit....

Sweet! This is really great news for us now that the NOLA bowl will only invite Belt teams every 2/3 years. We'll have a guaranteed AAC opponent in a destination Cajun fans would actually want to travel to.

I'll give credit where credit is due. Nice job Benson.

And btw, this bowl drastically lowers our chances of ever having to play in the Belt's other tie in, the absurdly terrible Camellia Bowl which will be played in a run down 20,000 seat stadium.

Try maybe half that! Don't want to be Debbie downer here but let's be real.

It might be better than you think. I bring 18 to NO. I was looking at 5 to Shreveport and 1 to Mobile when it was still up in the air. I bet I could get all 18 to Orlando, or close to it. The weather outlook is potentially better, we can pile into a few vans/suvs, and there is much more to the destination than just football. That's what motivates my non-diehards.

Don;t underestimate the Cajun Nation. Jay scuffed that we could put 40,000 in the dome the first year. Two hour flight from NOLA with other attractions than a football game, I think we would do it.
