The greatest party city in America.
New Orleans was made for bowl season. The French Quarter never sleeps, the food is legendary, and Caesars Superdome sits right in the middle of it all. Arrive two days early — you will need them.
The Granddaddy of Them All.
The Rose Bowl is the most iconic stadium setting in college football. Playing under the San Gabriel Mountains with the Arroyo Seco as your backdrop — there is nothing else like it. January 1 in Pasadena is a tradition worth experiencing once in your life.
South Beach energy meets college football.
Miami brings a different vibe to bowl season — 80 degrees in January, art deco hotels, and a city that knows how to host a spectacle. Hard Rock Stadium sits between Miami and Fort Lauderdale and is easily one of the best road trip stadiums in the country.
Everything is bigger in Texas.
AT&T Stadium is one of the most impressive sports facilities ever built. The Cowboys game day experience is baked into every corner of it, and for a bowl game it is electric. The DFW metroplex means world-class food, nightlife, and easy flights from everywhere.
A modern stadium in a city that never sits still.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium is one of the newest and most architecturally stunning venues in sports. Atlanta has developed into a true food and culture city — Ponce City Market, Krog Street, and Midtown all give you somewhere to be before and after the game.
Desert sun, perfect January weather, and a real college football atmosphere.
State Farm Stadium in Glendale hosts some of the loudest bowl crowds in the country. The Phoenix metro gives you Scottsdale nightlife, Old Town, and the best winter weather on the bowl circuit — expect 68 and sunny. The Fiesta Bowl has hosted some of the greatest games in CFP history.
Waterfront bars, cigar country, and two bowl games.
Tampa punches above its weight for bowl season. Raymond James Stadium is one of the best mid-size venues in the sport, Ybor City gives you a genuinely wild Saturday night, and the waterfront is beautiful. As a bonus, Tampa hosts two bowl games — easy to make a long weekend of it.
