Tournament: Orange Bowl 2005
Sport: College Football
Background: The second-oldest bowl
game was created in 1933 as part of the Miami Palm Festival.
It became known as the Orange Bowl in 1935. Originally
played in Miami Field Stadium, it moved into its own
stadium, also known as the Orange Bowl, in 1938. Since
1996, the game has been staged in Pro Player Stadium,
which is in Ft. Lauderdale.
The Orange Bowl in 1965 became the first major bowl
game to be played at night, and it's been a night game
ever since. From 1953 through 1963 and 1975 through
1994, it featured the Big 8 champion against an at-large
opponent. During the intervening years, the Big 8 champion
or runner-up often played in the Orange Bowl, but did
not get an automatic invitation.
Federal Express (FedEx) has sponsored the game since
1989.
