| | The Register Citizen - Sports - 12/10/2004 - UConn, Toledo happy to be headed to Motor City Bowl |
 | | A berth in the Motor City Bowl means a Mid-American Conference championship -- and the hours drive up I-75 will generate a much larger response than a lengthy, expensive trip to Shreveport, La., San Jose, Calif., Fort Worth, Texas, or Mobile, Ala., sites of other bowls hosting MAC teams. |
 | | The Motor City Bowl attracted a record 51,286 fans for last Decembers game between Northwestern and Bowling Green, and executive director Ken Hoffman expects between 45,000 and 55, 000 this year. |
 | | Although no bowl pays less than the $750,000 the Motor City doles out to each participating team, of this years 27 other bowls, 11 will feature teams that together have more losses than the seven of Toledo and Connecticut combined. |
