Gridiron Bowl IV City Selection Thread

[Austin Snelick]

With another season nearing its start, we have our next order of off-season business; selecting the location for the Gridiron Bowl for the 2024 season.
City requirements are that the host stadium must be an NFL like / capacity stadium in the US or Canada, and must not be a city that has hosted any of the three Gridiron Bowls (New Orleans, Las Vegas, Green Bay).

Please select your top three city choices. This will be ranked choice voting, so 3 points go towards your top pick, 2 to your second, and 1 towards your 3rd.
The city with the most points will host Gridiron Bowl IV. If there is a tie, then most first place votes wins. If still a tie, then most 2nd place votes. After that, if still tied, we remove my votes and calculate again.

Voting will run through the end of the day Sunday January 22nd, with the winning host city being announced on Monday the 23rd.

THe Rose Bowl Style Field is one of my favorites. So unique and Bold! I am hoping as the CFP expands it does not force changes in how the field is designed. (Outside of the required CFP logos).
