RE: Week 5 Bowl Projections - ESPN
Liberty Bowl and the Fairgrounds area is significantly nicer than the area near Legion Field. Yes, the era are some rougher patches near the fairgrounds...but there is also the Children's Museum, Tobey Park, CBU, Cooper Young, and many other fairly pleasant midtown style neighborhoods. Legion Field area is more like Lamar Avenue near the old bowling alley and Panchos. Dilapidated.
Yes, i know it is popular to mock Memphis, particularly some areas, but as mentioned above, CBU, Museum, Chickasaw Gardens and much more...makes most of the smaller homed parts simply quaint. It is a myth painted by pink style fans that the area is so rough.
Not suggesting that there are not some rough patches off Southern between Spottswood, especially near the tunnels.

The cotton bowl would be pure awesomeness. Might as well dream about it while the dream is alive.

I've been to both. They're great.
Big Cotton Bowl is played in Jerryworld now. Never been to real Cotton Bowl stadium, except during TX state fair.
The HS football playoffs use the Cotton Bowl.
Of course the state championship game is also at Jerryworld.
