The St. Petersburg Bowl is a NCAA Division I FBS college football bowl game that will make its debut in 2008 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida pitting teams from the Big East Conference and Conference USA. The NCAA's Postseason Football Licensing Subcommittee approved the bowl on April 30, 2008, allowing the committee that had proposed the game to host it after the 2008 college football season.[1]
The St. Petersburg Bowl will take place in a stadium designed for baseball. The football gridiron will be arranged along the right field line, from home plate to the foul pole. If the new Rays Ballpark is approved, the game will move there as well.[2]
