About

Capital One Orange Bowl History

Played annually since the mid-1930s, the Orange Bowl is the second-oldest bowl game in the country behind the Rose Bowl. In fact, it was created as a sort of Florida counterpart to Pasadena's Rose Bowl Game and Rose Parade, a way of drumming up tourist dollars in Miami during the Great Depression. After years in its namesake stadium, in 1996 the Orange Bowl moved just north of the city to Hard Rock Stadium, a 65,000-capacity facility in Miami Gardens, Florida.

Today the Capital One Orange Bowl is included in the New Year's Six, the six bowl games that host the College Football Playoff semifinals on a rotating basis. The Orange Bowl has billed itself "The Home of the ACC Champion" since the 2006 season, and the arrangement with the conference will last at least until 2025. The SEC, Big Ten and Notre Dame are so-called secondary tie-ins.

The game has always been one of the crown jewels of the bowl season. The first bowl game ever televised live in prime time was the 1965 Orange Bowl, in which the Texas Longhorns snuck past the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide, 21-17. Other highlights include William "Refrigerator" Perry and his Clemson Tigers teammates stoning the Nebraska Cornhuskers in 1982, 22-15, winning a national championship in the process; the Miami Hurricanes claiming a title of their own in 1984 by the fingertips of Ken Calhoun, who deflected a pass that would've given Nebraska a two-point conversion and a victory; Notre Dame's Raghib "Rocket" Ismail in 1991 returning a punt 92 yards for an apparent winning touchdown over Colorado, only to have the return called back because of a clipping penalty. If history is your thing, the last meeting between coaching legends Joe Paterno and Bobby Bowden was at the 2006 Orange Bowl, where Paterno's Penn State team edged Bowden's Florida State squad in three overtimes, 26-23. And if points are your thing, the bowl's 2012 edition saw West Virginia put up 70 of them against Clemson.

    unexpected

    by Fanbase on 1/3/24Hard Rock Stadium - Miami

    Unfortunately the game was not as expected. Why are players aloud to opt out of playing Bowl games? This wil ruin college bowl games or is that the real plan. Players want to get paid but they have to understand were the money comes from, the fans!! Why are players hurting the people who support them?

    Positive

    by Trisha-Native SoFL-FSU Alum on 12/30/23

    Went to several Orange Bowls including the original stadium. Always a positive experience. Off to see FSU play UGA, consider including FSU winning its FIRST Nat'l Champ for the 1993 Season under Coach Bowden as part of your summary on the Bowl! I was there, it was FABULOUS. It should be included as part of the Orange Bowl's history and the State of Florida's history! FSU FOREVER!! Go Noles!

    Great time

    by Vols fan KCE on 1/3/23Hard Rock Stadium - Miami

    First time going to a bowl game had a great time was real impressed with the pregame fan experience really enjoyed the sponsor tents also. Would definitely do the Orange bowl game again if I had a chance. Do kind of have one disappointment I think all the parking gates should open up at the same time and not have some open earlier than others that makes no sense to me I could see that if it was for handicap people but that was not the case.

    Great venue - Great time. Need to serve wine for the ladies

    by patrick spang on 1/2/23Hard Rock Stadium - Miami

    Great entry - parking and easy access. Fun vibe and atmosphere. No wine for my wife - that was the only bummer. I should not have to upgrade my ticket beyond 100 level to get wine for my wife. Other than that - great game and great experience.

    My last bowl game

    by Fifth Orange Bowl on 1/2/23Hard Rock Stadium - Miami

    Fan fest was lame . Drunken b list entertainer trying just to provoke teams against each other. Commercials on screen during game . Extremely loud “music “ (noise) during breaks. At least club level was done well.
