The 2015 championship game was held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The 2016 and 2017 games will be held at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, respectively.
The committee’s choices will be interesting, specifically when it comes to Minnesota and Detroit. Bowl games are typically played in warm weather, and the committee will have plenty of choices to stay in traditional bowl spots, such as Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston and San Antonio.

The announcement will take place at the Big Ten offices in Rosemont, Illinois.
