If the Pinstripe is still at Yankee Stadium, that's going to make 2 bowl games no one will want to play in.
it's in the article, but yes. the first year of the game will be 2020, and ongoing renovations to wrigley in the meantime will result in more room on the field.
I'll admit I responded before I read the story. The Cubs are dreaming IMO. Given that some of the warm weather locations aren't getting attendance, who's going to want to sit outside in Chicago for 3.5 hours to watch a couple of 6-6 teams (or worse)? They're going to have to absolutely align with 2 major conferences and hope they pull teams that travel well.

I'd like to see big vs sec. bring them up into the cold and see how they respond.
BINGO!!! I've always thought that myself. I would love for a warm weather team to have to play in the last week of December in Chicago. They would be dropping passes and fumbling left and right. 18-22 year old kids , that cold would get between their ears.
