The Big Ten’s future bowl lineup consists of the following postseason games:
With the additions of the Las Vegas, Belk and Cheez-It bowls, the Big Ten’s partnership with the Holiday, Foster Farms and Lockheed Martin Armed Services bowls come to an end.
- Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual (Pasadena, Calif.)
- Capital One Orange Bowl (Miami)
- Citrus Bowl (Orlando, Fla.)
- Outback Bowl (Tampa, Fla.)
- Las Vegas Bowl (Las Vegas)
- Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl (Nashville, Tenn.)
- New Era Pinstripe Bowl (Bronx, N.Y.)
- Belk Bowl (Charlotte, N.C.)
- Cheez-It Bowl (Phoenix)
- Redbox Bowl (Santa Clara, Calif.)
- Quick Lane Bowl (Detroit, Mich.)
The Big Ten has six-year agreements with 11 bowls, including new deals with Las Vegas and the Belk Bowl in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Big Ten will alternate with the SEC in Las Vegas -- the expected new home of the Oakland Raiders -- and in Charlotte, with the Big Ten taking odd-numbered years in Las Vegas and even-numbered years in Charlotte.
Tampa and St. Petersburg are essentially one and the same when it comes to the destination, although the St. Pete stadium is the crappy Rays indoor stadium and the Tampa stadium is the nice outdoor Bucs stadium.Good places for bowl games:

if you say so ... but, I would welcome our Huskers back to the Music City Bowl in a heart beat. Had a great time meeting up with friends from HS & NU last time. Moreover, would love to see them thump an $EC team in Nashville.
I was surprised Music Bowl was the middle of the pack payout bowls (in 2018). More payout than Pinstripe. I thought bottom of the list, equal to Quick Lane, New Mexico Bowl, Idaho Potato Bowl, etc.
I just hope we never have to play in the Quick Lane Bowl. Detroit in December is not much of a reward.
Listening to our Nashville sports radio makes it sound like Music City Bowl is on the rise among all the bowls ... they were pretty excited to have the #3 B1G pick now which probably equates to a divisional second place finish.
The days of a couple 6-6 teams playing in Nashville are long gone ... probably going to be looking at a game with a pair of 9-3 teams moving forward. When you are hosting games like Tennessee vs Nebraska or LSU vs Notre Dame, it creates a lot of interest.
Recent NFL draft proved that Nashville could host a large event and do it well with some 600K visitors. I think their goal is to get into the discussion as a host for a future CFB playoff game.
