Orange Bowl
Encyclopedia
The Orange Bowl is an annual American college football
bowl game
played at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens
, Florida
. It has been played annually since January 1, 1935 and celebrated its 75th playing on January 1, 2009. The Orange Bowl, along with the Sugar Bowl
and the Sun Bowl
, are the second-oldest bowl games in the country, behind the Rose Bowl
(first played 1902, played annually since 1916). The Orange Bowl is a member of the Bowl Championship Series
.
The Orange Bowl hosted the BCS National Championship Game
in 2001 and 2005. However, since the 2006 season, the BCS National Championship Game
has been a stand-alone event, hosted by the local bowl organization one week following the New Year's Day bowl games (including the Orange Bowl). In other words, under the current BCS format, the Orange Bowl Committee hosted two games in 2009: the 2009 Orange Bowl
on January 1 and the 2009 BCS National Championship Game
on January 8, both at LandShark Stadium.
Since 2007 the Orange Bowl has been host to the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC)
champion unless they are involved in the national championship game and has used the brand Home of the ACC Champion.
The 2011 match up
ended with the Stanford Cardinal
defeating the ACC Conference Champion, the Virginia Tech Hokies
40-12.
The game is officially known as the Discover Orange Bowl, since Discover Financial
was announced as title sponsor on August 26, 2010 as part of a new four year agreement. The game had been called the FedEx Orange Bowl from 1989 to 2010, as FedEx
sponsored the event during that period. Starting with the 2010-2011 season, ESPN
will carry the Orange Bowl, replacing Fox after four seasons. ABC aired the game from 1999 to 2006, with CBS (1995–1998) and NBC (1964–1994) previously carrying the game.
, California
held its first Tournament of Roses Parade
to showcase the city's mild weather compared to the harsh winters in northern cities. As one of the organizers said: "In New York, people are buried in snow. Here, our flowers are blooming and our oranges are about to bear. Let's hold a festival to tell the world about our paradise." In 1902, the annual festival was enhanced by adding an American football game.
In 1926, leaders in Miami, Florida, decided to do the same with a "Fiesta of the American Tropics" that was centered around a New Year's Day football game. Although a second "Fiesta" was never held, Miami leaders- Earnest E Seiler, later revived the idea with the "Palm Festival" (with the slogan "Have a Green Christmas in Miami").
.
Two games were played in this series at Moore Park in Miami, both pitting an invited opponent against a local team, the University of Miami
. In the first game, played on January 2, 1933, Miami defeated Manhattan College
7–0. In the second game, played on New Year's Day 1934, Duquesne
defeated Miami 33–7. Duquesne was coached by Elmer Layden
one of the Four Horseman of Notre Dame.
These games are not recognized as bowl games by the NCAA because one team was guaranteed a berth regardless of record. However, following the success of these games, backers organized another game for New Year's Day 1935 under the Orange Bowl name. This game, unlike the Palm Festival Games, did not automatically grant a berth to one team, although the University of Miami was again a participant. For this reason, the 1935 Orange Bowl was later recognized by the NCAA as an official bowl game.
The Orange Bowl was played at Miami Field (located where Miami Orange Bowl was later built) from 1935 to 1937, the Miami Orange Bowl
from 1938 to 1996 and 1999, and was moved to its current site, Dolphin Stadium
in Miami Gardens, Florida
, in December 1996. The game was moved back to the namesake stadium in 1999 (which would be the final bowl game ever in the Miami Orange Bowl) because the game was played on the same day the Miami Dolphins
hosted an NFL Wild Card Playoff game. Coincidentally, both of those games were aired on ABC
.
In 1964, the Texas vs. Alabama Orange Bowl was the first college bowl game to be televised in prime time.
From 1968, the game usually featured the champion of the former Big Eight Conference
(whose members merged with the Southwest Conference to form the current Big 12 Conference
). Since 1998, however, with the creation of the Bowl Championship Series
system, team selection for the Orange Bowl is now tied into the other three BCS Bowls. From 1998-2005, the game hosted the champion of either the ACC
or Big East conferences, unless they were invited to the National Championship game, or if the Orange Bowl itself was hosting the national championship matchup. Starting with the 2006 season, the Orange Bowl has been exclusively tied with the ACC and has used the brand Home of the ACC Champion. As one of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) bowl games (the others being the Sugar
, Fiesta
, and Rose Bowls), the Orange Bowl also hosts the national championship game
once every four years under the BCS system (as it did on January 4, 2005).
