"The Pinstripe Bowl" Stage is Set!


Mark your calendars- The first annual "Pinstripe Bowl" will be played at Yankee Stadium on December 30 and will be televised by ESPN (what, no YES Network?)

The game will feature the No. 3 team in the Big East and the No. 6 school in the Big 12, excluding Bowl Championship Series participants.

My favorite part of the AP's article is where it says: "This will be the first bowl game at Yankee Stadium since Nebraska defeated Miami 36-34 at old Yankee Stadium on Dec. 15, 1962."

I don't get why people are confused over the fact that New Yankee Stadium and Old Yankee Stadium are not the same. They are two separate buildings. All they share is a name. A bowl game has NEVER been played at this Yankee Stadium, because it just opened last year. Will these sports writers do the same thing when talking about Giants Stadium vs. New Meadowlands Stadium?

Details people, details.
