Cactus Bowl moving to Arizona Diamondbacks stadium, which has a POOL

Finally, we have bowl game/swimming pool synergy back in our lives.

Add a new name to the list of bowl games played in baseball stadiums. The Cactus Bowl is headed to Chase Field, the home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, for the next three years, according to ESPN’s Brett McMurphy.

The Pac-12 vs. Big 12 bowl game, which was previously known as the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl and perhaps most notably the Insight Bowl, has traditionally been played at Arizona State’s Sun Devil Stadium, though it was played at Chase Field (formerly Bank One Ballpark) from 2000-2005.

Perhaps the most important thing to note here is that there is finally a bowl game played in a stadium with a swimming pool -- no, no -- a swimming pool and a hot tub! The “Ramtrucks.com Pool” holds 8,500 gallons of water, and has a nearly 1,300-square-foot pool deck.

Have you ever dreamed of watching Texas Tech play Oregon State from the comfort of a swimming pool? Now you can make that dream a reality, friends. If this doesn’t scream “college football,” well, nothing does.
