Article Pizza Pizza Bowl 2014 : Canceled

Little Caesars Pizza Bowl canceled

Article from Crain's may require login.

The Little Caesars Pizza Bowl at Detroit’s Ford Field is no more, the college football game’s executive director confirmed.

“There is no Pizza Bowl for 2014. We will have to see about the future,” said Ken Hoffman, the game’s longtime top official, via email.

The game, traditionally played the day after Christmas and aired live on ESPN, began as the Motor City Bowl in 1997 and moved to 64,500-seat Ford Field in 2002 from the 80,311-seat Pontiac Silverdome.

The fate of the Pizza Bowl has been in doubt since the Detroit Lions announced in 2013 that they’ll host a new bowl matching Big Ten and Atlantic Coast Conference teams at Ford Field in a six-year deal that begins this year.

Bummer. This also likely spells the end of Ken Hoffman's bowl previews on the Tim Staudt show.

The Fords really fucked over George and Hoffman. They were finally going to be able to get a B1G team every year and whammo
