Pittsburgh and Chicago? I imagine that 75% of the crowd that is there will have bad mustaches too.
Pitt fans don't travel, and I don't know how many nwestern fans are going to go.
NYC is pretty big and a the Yanks will fill it up with a bunch of locals so it looks respectable and the crowd is respectable when all is said and done
The problem is neither school is going to bring a lot of people, and neither has much of a following or alumni base in the area.
Pitt vs Northwestern, ouch, college football's most iconic venue might be pretty empty that day.
I'm sure they do. All the Northwestern School of Communication grads are working for Newhouse grads.NYC is an attraction.
Have to believe that a school like NW has a decent alumni base in the NYC area.
Wow and ouch! pitt deserved a waaay better bowl than that at 8-4 and a win over Clemson . geeez
Yes the team did, the problem for Pitt is they have a horrible reputation for traveling, so they aren't going to get the better bowl.
Travel? Travel? We're talking travel?!! They don't even travel across Pittsburgh.Pitt fans don't travel, and I don't know how many nwestern fans are going to go.
The ACC needs to put wording in the next bowl contracts like the B1G, Big 12 and SEC have to place teams in bowls based on ranking.Yes the team did, the problem for Pitt is they have a horrible reputation for traveling, so they aren't going to get the better bowl.
The ACC puts some of its bowls into tiers so that teams don't get stuck playing the same bowl over and over. The Pinstripe Bowl is in the same tier as the Belk, Gator, Music City, and Sun Bowls. The Orange Bowl goes to ACC #1, or #2, if #1 is in the playoff. The Russell Athletic Bowl goes to ACC #2, or #3, if #2 is in the playoff.The ACC needs to put wording in the next bowl contracts like the B1G, Big 12 and SEC have to place teams in bowls based on ranking.

I understand your description, but I disagree with the ACC's methodology. The other conferences specify who goes to which bowl based on place of finish. The ACC bowls -- other than the ones you mentioned -- are based on selection by the bowl committees. If SU had been bowl-eligible this year, we would (probably) have gone to the Pinstripe yet again. I don't want spend a fortune to freeze my azz off in New York every year. Even a mid-South city would be better.The ACC puts some of its bowls into tiers so that teams don't get stuck playing the same bowl over and over.
