This the bowl game we need to go to. This is going to be done first class by Frisco. This is today's press release from the City of Frisco.

CREATION OF FRISCO BOWL ADDED TO ESPN EVENTS LINEUP
Formerly Miami Beach Bowl, game moves to Frisco, TX
One of 14 owned and operated ESPN Event Bowl Games

(May 23, 2017) The newly created Frisco Bowl will be played from its new Texas home beginning in December 2017. Formerly the Miami Beach Bowl, the bowl game is owned-operated by ESPN Events and affiliated with the American Athletic Conference.

The bowl game will air on ESPN on Wednesday, Dec. 20 at 8 p.m. ET/ 7 p.m. CT at Toyota Stadium in Frisco.

Toyota Stadium is the home of FC Dallas of Major League Soccer and host to the NCAA Football Championship Subdivison (FCS) Championship Game since 2010. It has a football capacity of 20,500.

“We are pleased to be able to host this game in one of the most vibrant football markets in the country,” said Clint Overby, ESPN vice president of events. “The infrastructure and facilities that exist in Frisco are outstanding and will be an excellent venue for the teams, players, administrators and fans traveling into the marketplace. We look forward to working with civic organizations and businesses in the area to create an annual event that embraces the spirit of the community.”

“We are thrilled to host the Frisco Bowl,” said Dan Hunt, FC Dallas president. “Toyota Stadium provides a premier football experience and we’re looking forward to hosting this marquee matchup for years to come.”

“We are extremely excited to be a part of creating this bowl game,” said Josh Dill, director of sports and events, Visit Frisco. “The Frisco Bowl is a great fit for our city because sports truly is a pillar of our community. Hosting this event is a perfect way to showcase our city’s sports and tourism offerings, while providing entertainment and economic benefits for our residents.”

The Miami Beach bowl was held at Marlins Park in Miami from 2014-16, with an American Athletic Conference team facing an opponent from Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference or the Sun Belt Conference. Memphis won the inaugural event in 2014, followed by Western Kentucky in 2015 and Tulsa in 2016.

“We are excited to be a part of the Frisco Bowl and enhance our relationship with ESPN Events,” said Mike Aresco, commissioner of the American Athletic Conference. “I want to thank Pete Derzis and Clint Overby for their vision and hard work in creating this bowl game. The Frisco Bowl will join ESPN’s outstanding lineup and will permit us to send a deserving team to a first-class facility in a region within our conference footprint that has been tremendously supportive of postseason college football.”

Ticket information for the Frisco Bowl will be announced this summer. For further details, visit thefriscobowl.com, or follow on twitter.com/FriscoBowlESPN and facebook.com/friscobowl.

I'd prefer the Cotton, Peach, or whatever bowl is hosting the G5 top team. But, Frisco would certainly be better than Birmingham and some of our other bowl options.

Here is what some North Dakota State people have to say. They have played in Frisco several times. Note the comments on the restaurants and bars. There are many within walking distance of the stadium. Frisco is the fastest growing city in America and the bars and restaurants are numerous and NEW. Lots of great places to go and not have to go far. Lots of new hotels too, in all price ranges, the best being the WESTIN and the new OMNI at the DALLAS COWBOYS new world headquarters in Frisco. Toyota Stadium is undergoing a $40 million renovation that includes the addition of the National Soccer Hall of Fame, new locker rooms, new scoreboards, a new sound system and expanded press box.

It looks like a really nice stadium, much better than the setup in Miami. Thanks for sharing.

I and all my teen Tigers will be there, most likely who(m) ever gets to play.
I would prefer a bigger bowl for Tigers, a P6 bowl, but would great to see the Tigers.
Great city, and only 7 hrs from Mempho.
I am close by, near the airport; stop in and say hi.

I like the option - most years. This year, we're shooting for something bigger.

I am shooting for something much bigger. lol

At the end of the day, its a minimum payout bowl that we will lose money on. If its fun for the players, then I'm fine with it.

SMU needs to hope they can find a way to 6-6. They would be a perfect fit for that bowl.

if we have a really good season, I'd like to see Memphis play an ACC team in the Military Bowl...if we squeak out 6-7 wins...send the team/coaches to Hawai'i to celebrate this 4 year bowl run.

why the hell would they be a perfect fit for that bowl? dear god, do you think their players want to stay home for a bowl game?

SMU hasn't played in a bowl game going on 5 years now. They're starved for a bowl...ANY bowl...and they would send 10k fans by themselves to Frisco. (the bowl doesn't pay jack crap so SMU wouldn't lose money on travel)

it would be a very safe pick for a first year bowl game.
