Miami, FL
Pro Player Stadium
75,192 - Grass
Date: January
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.
As a member of the Bowl Alliance, the Orange Bowl hosted the mythical national championship game in 1994. On Jan. 3, 2001, it was again the site of the championship, this time under the auspices of the Bowl Championship Series.
