The Orange Bowl - Orange Bowl Game, Orange Bowl History, Orange Bowl Tickets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Gator Bowl is an annual college football bowl game that is played at ALLTEL Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida. It is one of the oldest non-BCS bowls, held continuously since 1946.

Until 1993 the game was played in Gator Bowl Stadium, when the stadium was partially demolished during the construction of ALLTEL Stadium on the same site. The 1994 game was played at Gainesville, Florida during construction; the 1996 game (moved to January 1 that season) and subsequent games have been held at ALLTEL Stadium. The game is currently sponsored by Toyota and is officially titled the Toyota Gator Bowl.
