Anyplace but the "Delaney / lets get New York into the B1G" bowl. If we wanted that climate for a bowl game, we'd host our own. As for the domers......... best to just say nothing otherwise a profanity laced rant would be forthcoming

NYC was the biggest garbage bowl I have ever seen. They honestly should decline the bowl in the name of player safety, I’ve never actually feared for the Iowa players more than that game played on an ice rink…you want a cold weather bowl go play it at Lambeau or even Minnesota, somewhere with a heated field….not some baseball stadium….

(On a side note, I’m not sure why the field was so awful, places like Soldier field, while not great, are not that bad in winter in similar climates with natural grass and no heating to my knowledge)

That last game was a disaster. It was closer to a hockey game than it was football.

The whole thing is pretty absurd - a baseball stadium in NY? It's last having a basketball game outdoors on the deck of an aircraft carrier (oopps - they did that one too).

Iowa is not going to decline a bowl game - but if there ever was one to pass on this is it.

Exactly, also I have since found out that Soldier field actually has heating too. Further driving home my point….play it on turf or a heated field….but baseball stadium in NYC in late December is absurd.

The Pinstripe bowl should be SEC #8 vs. Sun Belt #2, so we watch bad warm-weather schools slide around on the frozen tundra. That would honestly be the only way to make that game compelling.
