Competing against the Rose Bowl, The Cotton bowl, The Sugar Bowl.........etc. Brilliant marketing and scheduling! (not !)
I recently found out that they had a game last year too..........go figure.
Two professional hockey teams, playing outdoors at Wrigley Field, or a slew of commercials, sprinkled with a dusting of college football.
Look. I get it. More people watch football than hockey. But football is rapidly becoming what baseball has already become. Drawn out. 3 hours and more for a 1 hour game. Commercial after commercial after commercial after commercial after....
Football fans are so rude that I wouldn't take my family to a game. Players are becoming legends in their own minds. Criminal behavior is fast becoming the norm as opposed to the exception. 30 second plays (or less) wrapped around 2 minutes (or more) between plays. Prices that are so high a family of 4 has to save up like their going on vacation.
Honestly, I'm glad that hockey isn't like football. If it was, I wouldn't be so attracted to it.

Actually it is brilliant marketing. Once upon a time those bowls were all played on New Years Day but thanks to the glorious BCS that is not true. Last year the only football game the hockey game went up against was the Citrus, Outback and Cotton Bowls which are really lesser bowls.
