The Cotton Bowl in Dallas just announced that they are moving the bowl to a one billion dollar facility. WOW! Now the big question comes to Orlando, are we going to pay to upgrade the run down Citrus Bowl or just wave good bye to the once proud football event.
I for one would be very sad to see it go, not only because I am a huge college football fan, but because I think it would hurt Orlando tourism during the busiest month of the year. Everybody knows that Christmas time is prime season to visit Orlando and Disney World, and it is always a good for Orlando hotels to get one final tourism boost before they close their annual books. If you consider that the Citrus Bowl brings in 45,000 fans from across the nation this will directly hit Orlando hotels and the City of Orlando where it hurts, in the pocket book.
