2008 Sugar Bowl Championship

2008 Sugar Bowl - Part of the Bowl Championship Series, will be held at the Superdome on Jan 1st - 8:30 PM. The Superdome is the world's largest steel-constructed room unobstructed by posts. It is the first privately-managed and publicly-owned arena.

Sugar Bowl Championship

The Sugar Bowl always features one of college football's best games of the year. The Sugar Bowl sets the top college team of the South Eastern Conference (SEC) against a highly ranked challenger from another major conference.

History

Tulane Stadium housed the game from 1935 through 1974; it has been played in the Louisiana Superdome since. Tulane Stadium (demolished in 1981) was also often referred to as "The Sugar Bowl". The Sugar Bowl's corporate title sponsor was USF&G Financial Services from 1987 to 1995 and Nokia cellular telephones of Finland from 1995 to the present. ABC Sports has televised the game since 1969.

Prior to the BCS, the game was traditionally host to the Southeastern Conference champion. In years it does not host the BCS title game and the SEC champion is not involved in the title game, the Sugar Bowl has the option to select that team.

On October 1, 2005, CBS Sports reporter and Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Tony Barnhardt first reported that the 2006 Sugar Bowl game will be played at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia due the extensive damage to the Louisiana Superdome from Hurricane Katrina. The game will be played as scheduled on Monday, January 2nd (which usually occurs when New Years Day {January 1} falls on a Sunday), as the dome must already accommodate the Peach Bowl on December 30th and the last Atlanta Falcons game (versus the Carolina Panthers) on January 1.
