Yankee Stadium has the Pinstripe Bowl. What game should Wrigley Field have?

The Game Room
1

That’s right, the Cubs want their own annual bowl game starting in 2020. What should it be called?

The It’s About Damned Time Bowl.

I don’t see it happening. Illinois and Northwestern played there not long ago, and there were concerns that the wall was too close to one corner of the endzone and all the offenses had to run in the same direction all throughout the game. It just isn’t big enough to fit a football field in safely. ETA- the link does cover that issue and there is an alternate layout that might provide a tad more room.

I see Bob noticed that. Never mind.

5

The Drunk Idiots in the Bleachers Bowl?

6

If the Cubs hadn’t won the Series this year, they could have called it the Goat Curse Bowl

7

They could go historic. Sell naming rights to Henkel AG and they could have the Armour Stockyards Bowl.

8

They could still call it the Billy Goat Bowl, as a nod/middle finger to the curse.

9

I’d put my money on something boring like the Windy City Bowl.

10

Ivy Bowl?

11

Century Bowl.

Looks like Wrigley has been laid out two different ways for football. Here’s the old layout from when the Bears played there, with the long axis down the left field line, and here’s the layout for the Northwestern-Illinois game, where the long axis ran along the right field line.

It’s a tight squeeze either way, but I think an equally large problem is that even with temporary bleachers added, there just isn’t a lot of seating capacity, and many of the seats would be in a terrible location. Add in the prospect of being outside for an entire afternoon in Chicago in the winter, and I think the novelty appeal of the “Hell Freezes Over Bowl” would fade after a couple of years.

Just call it the Half-Field Bowl.

14

Spearmint Bowl.

15

Duh, clearly it should be the Wrigleys Gum Bowl !

(Come on! )

And they can sell Gumbo at the stadium!

(Too easy!)

16

Theo Epstein Bowl

17

The “Under The Seat Bowl,” since that’s where many wads of gum wind up.

18

Good one! "Fire Bowl’ also has a nice ring.

Using Chicago Corp Sponsorship, and keeping the Cubs tradition in it also I propose

The Sears Holding, Ingredion Tenneco Bowl
