Champs Sports BowlChamps Bowl TicketsThe Champs Sports Bowl - some call it Champs Bowl - has been around for quite a while already. First played in 1990, it is one of the post-season college football bowl games in Florida. For the first decade (1990 - 2000) the Bowl location was actually the Pro Player Stadium in Miami Gardens, before it got moved to Orlando. Everyone is looking forward to the 2009 game where the Miami Hurricanes will play the Wisconsin Badgers.
Starting in the 2006 college football season, the bowl has matched teams from the ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) and the Big Ten Conference. Champs Sports, a division of Foot Locker, has been the title sponsor of the event from 2004 on. Traditionally, the bowl will be held after Christmas Day from 2006–2009. In August 2009, the Bowl announced that the Big East will be one of the tie-in conferences for 4 years starting in 2010. They will also have the option of selecting Notre Dame once out of the four years. Then, in October 2009 it was announced that they had extended their agreement with the Atlantic Coast Conference for the same term. The game will match the third pick from the ACC against the second selection from the Big East. The previous agreement matched the 4th pick from the ACC against the 4th or 5th pick from the Big Ten.
The Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium (formerly Orlando Stadium, Tangerine Bowl and the Citrus Bowl) opened its doors way back in 1936 with a capacity of 10,000. In the meantime it was expanded several times and can seat over 70,000 spectators for different sports. That made it a so-called multi-purpose stadium. Its main purpose, however, is football with the main events being the Capital One Bowl, the Champs Sports Bowl, as well as (non-football sport) Monster Jam.
