The Super Bowl and Pro Bowl are over and it's always special when the attention is on South Florida like it was the last two weeks.

However, I was hoping FAU could have been more involved with some of the activities.

There was the Art and Jazz on the Avenue in Delray Beach event almost two weeks ago that featured FAU football players and coaches (see photo) and the Pro Bowl teams held a practice at the home of the Owls' home - Lockhart Stadium.

However, I think FAU should be in the running to hold some of the practices when the Super Bowl is in South Florida and the same goes for the Orange Bowl teams.

When you see the Pro Bowl practices held at St. Thomas Aquinas High School with cars driving down a residential street in the background, one can't help think it would have looked better to have those workouts at FAU.

Geography is the biggest issue, but maybe in the future (like when FAU has its own on-campus stadium) some team will think its worth the extra few minutes to travel to a place with major college facilities.
