After a successful debut in 2008, this year’s bowl looks to again be an exciting event. The game is played at Tropicana Field, famously known as the home of the Tampa Bay Rays of Major League Baseball. If for some reason a team from either the Big East or C-USA conference can attend the bowl, a team from the Sun Belt conference will likely play.

ESPN televises the St. Petersburg bowl and will show the game after the New Mexico Bowl. Although the bowl game is still in it’s first few years of existence, it is a hit with fans in the Tampa and St. Pete areas as well as college football fans. What could be better than a college football game on the Gulf Coast in December?

Tropicana Field will once again play host to the St. Petersburg Bowl, a venue that usually is home to the Tampa Bay Rays, and thus, requires some seating modifications to allow for a football game’s rectangular gridiron. However, seating is good and adjustments are not obtrusive. With many cities aware that single-use parks are no longer considered a wise economic idea, if the city approves a new Rays stadium in the future, the game will likely move there.

ESPN manages and owns the St. Petersburg Bowl, which is not unusual, as the network owns several bowl games. These include not only the New Mexico Bowl, but also the Armed Forces Bowl, the Maaco Las Vegas Bowl, the Hawaii Bowl and the PapaJohns.com Bowl. With ESPN getting more experience running bowl games, it’s possible there may be more bowls they take on in the coming seasons.

Last year’s inaugural St. Petersburg Bowl featured local South Florida against C-USA’s Memphis Tigers in a rout, where USF quarterback Matt Grothe torched the Tigers for 236 yards and three touchdowns. Grothe walked away with a win and the Most Outstanding Player award as his Bull won 41-14.
