Recent Outback Bowl Games:
The Outback Bowl is an annual postseason college football bowl game played in Tampa, Florida. The game was originally called the Hall of Fame Bowl. Its current name reflects the Outback Steakhouse's sponsorship of the game, which began in 1994. The Outback Bowl features teams from the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and the Big Ten Conference.
The Hall of Fame Bowl, former name for the Outback Bowl, was played in Birmingham, Alabama at Legion Field, and was sponsored by both the College Hall of Fame and the National Football Foundation. Those organizations decided to move the game to Tampa after playing in Birmingham from 1977 to 1985. Other than the now defunct Cigar Bowl played in from 1947-1954, the Outback Bowl is the only bowl game ever to be played in Tampa. The game has showcased the talents of such NFL stars as running back Tyrone Wheatley, wide receiver Bobby Engram, and New Orleans Saints' current quarterback Drew Brees.
The Outback Bowl is currently played at Raymond James Stadium, nicknamed the New Sombrero, in Tampa. The stadium is the home field of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and holds up to 75,000 spectators. Opened in 1998, Raymond James Stadium was not long ago considered the “crown jewel” of NFL arenas. Buy Outback Bowl tickets and witness college football history in the making in sunny Tampa, Florida!
