The players I've known and credible people who say they've talked to Stanford players say the opinions are all over the place, geographically and otherwise.  Stanford has a very geographically diverse roster,  so some players would like to play closer to:  a) home and b)where its easier for relatives and friends to attend.  Despite different geographical choices,  most players say bowl prep is so time consuming that a few official bowl events really don't make most bowl locations all that special... unless they get to stay after.  Some might welcome minimum disruption and like the idea of using Stanford's own facilities to prep for a game in Santa Clara.
