Pinstripe Bowl Set For December 30th

This was announced late last year, but I guess things needed to be finalized. Anyway, the game is set and will be played on December 30th, here's more from the AP:

The first Pinstripe Bowl will be played at Yankee Stadium on Dec. 30 and will be televised by ESPN.

The game will include the No. 3 team in the Big East and the No. 6 school in the Big 12, excluding Bowl Championship Series participants.

ESPN agreed to a six-year contract, the Yankees said Tuesday, and New Era Cap Co. Inc. agreed to a four-year deal to be the title sponsor. Future games will be played no earlier than Christmas and no later than New Year’s Day.

This is pretty cool. As I've said all along, it's great to have non-baseball event in the new stadium, because that was a big part of the old stadium's glorious history. I may have to attend one of these bowl games.
