St. Petersburg Bowl & Congressional Bowl

St. Petersburg Bowl & Congressional Bowl

Are these new bowl games included this year?

I only ask because both bowl games were only approved in late April.

Neither are in this year, they always put them in the year after, and since they're both in baseball stadiums, they'll just be in generic outdoor stadiums instead of the actual ones. Understandable I guess since they don't even have about 12 teams' stadiums in yet, but would be nice if they put the Trop in.

the trop is a dump
i was there a couple of years ago
its a big slab of concrete with no color to it

they should take the roof off and allow some natural light to get into there

I have been to the Trop tens of times and I like it a lot. It's nice, cool, air-conditioned, and if they did not have a roof just about every game they have would be called or delayed for rain since it rains just about every day down there in Saint Petersburg.

i hear that
i now live in miami and joe robbie (dolphin stadium) is too HOT/HUMID to attend any summertime baseball games

my mets come down next week and ill take a pass on seeing them live

ill sweat off 60 pounds by the time the beer filtrates thru my system with that 90% humidity

they are gonna build a new stadium where the orange bowl was demolished except some dude named Norman braman wants to have the city vote wether to use public money to build the stadium
the guy is some billionaire 75 year old who has nothing better to do with his money

when ac comes to the marlins baseball ill go everytime the mets come down, not just april & september

and YES the trop is a dump. they need a retractable dome or move the team to charlotte

I agree the trop is a dump as well. However I live here in Tampa and it rains just about everyday here in the summertime. I go there every year the Tigers play the Rays. It is no fun dealing with the rain here at all. But they keep it nice and cool tho. I don't know how a football game would look there but I wouldn't mind going to check it out.

I think EA is trying to get the remaining stadiums in. However, these 2 may have to wait yet another year. The earliest they can get in to take pictures is probably a week before the bowl game. After that, they'll only have about 3 months to do the entire rendering. Given that Adam stated it takes hundreds of hours to get a single stadium done, these two stadiums probably won't be in for NCAA 10.

But I think all the other bowl games should have theres in.

The trop isnt great but its not a dump...Maybe a few years ago but have you been there this year? No? Then you can't know if it is or not
