While some teams enjoy the warm weather down South, Maryland gets to enjoy the ambience of the South Bronx.
LOL, they get a wintertime trip to the South Bronx for their bowl game.
Good one, LOL.

In 2015, my alma mater (University of Minnesota) played in the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit - only two days after Christmas.
Our charter flight flew us in the morning of the game. We bussed into downtown Detroit and boozed up at a bar near Ford Field. After the game, we stayed at a hotel out by the airport and resumed boozing.
Prior to the game, they took us on a tour of downtown Detroit. I could see that they were trying to make an effort to clean up downtown Detroit but that they had a lot of work ahead of them. While on the freeway from the airport to downtown, we did see a few areas that looked downright crummy.
