The New Era Pinstripe Bowl is a college football bowl game that brings together teams from the Big East and Big 12. However, the New Era Pinstripe Bowl is more than just a football game. The week of festivities will begin on Tuesday, Dec. 25, with players, coaches and university staff taking part in a variety of events in the days leading up to the game, showcasing their respective universities to the New York metropolitan area. Special events, promotions and community outreach will take place throughout New York City during the week of the bowl game to once again create an unforgettable experience for fans, families, players and staffs of the two teams. The 2012 New Era Pinstripe Bowl will be the sixth college football game to take place at the current Yankee Stadium. The original Yankee Stadium played host to a number of college football games from the year it opened in 1923, including New York University and Fordham University home games and the two schools' annual matchup.
