Just when you thought there couldn’t possibly be any more bowl games, here comes one more.
This one should be pretty cool, though, and it will take place at a historic baseball stadium, joining Yankee Stadium’s Pinstripe Bowl as bowl games in the northeast.
Per a report from Stadium’s Brett McMurphy, Fenway Park in Boston will host a bowl game starting in 2020, and will feature an ACC team against an American Athletic Conference squad:
ACC & American will play in new bowl game at Boston’s Fenway Park starting in 2020, sources told @Stadium. Addition of Boston bowl will mean 43 bowls in 2020 so 65% of all college football teams will go bowling https://t.co/xM94Pq2QRh

That brings the bowl game total to 43, and as McMurphy notes, it means 65 percent of FBS teams will now end their seasons with bowl appearances.
This game should be a fun one, but at some point, the bowl games probably have to stop.
