The Pinstripe Bowl in Yankee Stadium seems like a better idea for a bowl then the GoDaddy.com Bowl in Mobile or the Little Caesar's Bowl in Detroit, that's for sure. At least it has a name and a cool location.
I think its awesome to play in Yankee stadium as long as you don't have an issues like NW and Illinois had. I'll definitely tune in just to see the set up since I missed the ND/Army game earlier in the year.
It will most definitely be cold as balls at the game though.
The rest are just opportunities for extra practice and a trip for the fans. I just don't see what's wrong with any extra football, no matter who's playing.
