The mayor has blown money on other flops like the Maritime museum. He’s pissed because USA is building on their own stadium without Mobile funding due to the short sighted city council. Ladd Peebles is falling apart. The commission who is responsible for oversight of the stadium was not included on the repairs needed after inspections last year. Typical shady Mobile politics.

Typical shady Mobile politics. the previous mayor did the Museum that blow up. This mayor is trying fix it. But it’s politcs no doubt. He is just setting the first marker down, like any politician does. They will work something out it brings in too much money to the city. The bowl already announced they would move to USA new stadium.

This makes so much sound sense that I doubt if a politician can comprehend...

Good point. Don’t look down at the DG Bowl. We might wish we had it in a few years.

The bowl (while some do not care for it) seems well run. The city as a community has supported with parade and etc. I like Hemi believe that it will be missed in the future. Even though the date is at tad rough close to Christmas it has had great TV exposure for the Belt. Nice area around hotels with good food and drink. Yes it will be missed regardless of Ladd. If it is Buffalo whom we play and they win the MAC it gives the Belt and Troy a good opportunity to show the difference between these two P5 conferences. Yep the DG in Mobile while being a smaller bowl has had a great reputation with folks outside any dog in the fight to say it is close to a New Years bowl as it gets as far as atmosphere and community involvement. It is actually a very good bowl

The Belt needs this Bowl due to its location to four of its members. Hopefully the bowl committee will find additional funding over the upcoming years. Even though we are picking up a bowl it’s not a lock but rotates affiliations every three years or so.

It is actually a very good bowl For me it's not dislike of the bowl - I think they do an awesome show and hope to get to one. It's more just a feeling like we're stuck with it for no reason other than we're in Alabama. Which is a tad silly on my part given how long it's been since we consistently went bowling. But its perception. And the date sucks, forcing me to endure crappy ESPN announcers talking about everything but the game and teams on the field because family before football, darn it.

To many bowl games to begin with with average 6-6 teams in them. Some of these MAC teams have to play in Bowls over 1,000 miles away and don't bring any kind of crowd. Also some of these lower bowl games draw maybe 20,000 fans and some less than that. Not much luster to Bowl Games other than the New Year Big games. Even with Troy finishing 9-3 we will be considered the #3-#4 team in the Sun Belt which is considered (And Isn't) the weakest FBS conference. It's great to get a bowl game but the luster isn't what it once was.

I agree, too many Bowl Games, but h$ll, let's go to one!!
