The stadium details:
UH football team also utilizes the facility for practices, and it became the team’s temporary stadium starting in 2021. The stadium has a seating capacity of 9,300, which will expand to 17,000 in 2023.
Will be cozy!

The Hawaii Bowl is the only bowl game on Dec 24, and at a good time - 3 pm PST on ESPN. We can make a statement or a mess.

Normally there'd be no other football competition but the Raiders are playing the Steelers at the same time this year and the Suns are playing the Nuggets at 4:30.

What I like about the Hawaii Bowl in addition to it being the most desirable location of all MWC tie in Bowl games is the payout. The Hawaii Bowl pays $1,200,000 which is the highest paid for the MWC other than the LA Bowl at Sofi which is “unannounced” but I have to imagine is more but this sure beats the $350,000 for the Arizona Bowl! I realize our travel cost is higher but the net has got to be better than the others.

Does MWC still split up all Bowl payouts?

This is a great recruiting trip too. A chance to do in-person visits Better to win the bowl game first.

Does MWC still split up all Bowl payouts? why even think about it, it's not much money left if any and if there is they can just bring over more of the cheer-teams or band members. I have seen it before most teams want to spend as much money as possible right up to the limit/payout as possible without going over (The Price is Right!)

The game will go head to head with the NFL, kinda sorta. The Raiders and Steelers game is scheduled for the same window. The good news is 1. the Raiders and Steelers are 4-7 teams that seem unlikely to resuscitate their seasons in the next three weeks and 2. the game will be in the NFL Network. It is Pittsburgh, so there will be ratings draw to them from the tri state area.

I think another thing people forget it more people tend to watch the earlier bowl games. Once you get closer to end of Dec and beginning of January people start losing interest and only watch their team or the CFP. I like the fact we are earlier because more people are still interested in watching.

SDSU needs to get together with the the Hawaii bowl, golf channel and raffle off golf lessons and a round of golf with Xander Schauffele and Paige Spiranac for the Hawaii children's Hospital or some kind of children's fund.
Great PR for sdsu and and the bowl game
Now we just need to get Xander and Paige to buy in on it (anybody know how to contract them, I still have the that restraining order thing to clear up with Paige)

The Aztec offense and their Coaches can use the extra practices to assist them in prep for next season - Plus a game to redeem the way they played in the AFA game
Also helps the recruiting of future players
Aztecs will also have an opportunity to enjoy Hawaii - it is usually a quick trip in there and then out
Would much rather be a team that is playing in a Bowl rather then watching others play
Another positive
on a Historic Note: that is quite good for everyone- is the trip to Pearl Harbor - especially for a school and players in a Military Town

Has Brady announced the Practice schedule for the Bowl game
Realize the game is 12/24 but the team probably leaves earlier for the Pre game Festivities and work outs there
In addition there are Finals for the guys - so time goes by quicker then some may think
