Back in the 1980s the city of Detroit had its own bowl game, the Cherry Bowl at the Pontiac Silverdome, but a lack of ticket sales caused that bowl to go out of business. In 1997, Detroit got another chance with the Motor City Bowl and the community has embraced it by snapping up an average of more than 50,000 Motor City Bowl game tickets each year. Now played at Ford Field, the Motor City Bowl is set for December 26, 2007 and features an interesting Midwest match-up between Purdue and Central Michigan. That should result in strong sales of Motor City Bowl tickets, and GoTickets.com has a huge selection of Central Michigan Motor City Bowl tickets and Purdue Motor City Bowl tickets.

In the first few years of the Motor City Bowl, the Marshall Thundering Herd dominated by winning three of the first four editions as the champions of the Mid-American Conference. Since then teams like Boston College, Connecticut and Memphis have taken home the Motor City Bowl trophy. And last year a record 54,113 Motor City Bowl tickets were sold as the hometown crowd cheered on Central Michigan to victory.
