The college football bowl game industry has been hit hard this year with 19 canceled or relocated games, including all four that were scheduled in California and five others since Sunday alone, all because of restrictions and fallout related to the pandemic.
Yet there is one part of the country where the bowl business is booming even though COVID-19 is thriving there, too:
The Dallas-Fort Worth metro area in Texas.
In a span of nine days starting Thursday, this area is scheduled to host five bowl games, which is one more than it would have in a normal year and two more any other metro area in the nation.
