Don't bother looking for the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl at Detroit’s Ford Field in December.
It's been canceled, Bill Shea of Crain's Detroit Business reports. Ken Hoffman, the game's top official, confirmed the cancelation.
Shea writes:
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.
“If you look at any city right now, there are very, very few that can support two major bowl games,” Lions President Tom Lewand said in July 2013, adding that the Lions would be putting all of their support behind the yet-to-be-named Big Ten/ACC bowl.
