The Sugar Bowl is an annual college football bowl game played in
the Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Sugar Bowl has been
played annually since January 1, 1935, and celebrated its 75th
anniversary on January 2, 2009. The Sugar Bowl, along with the
Orange Bowl and Sun Bowl, are the second-oldest bowl games in the
country. The Sugar Bowl is also a member of the Bowl Championship
Series.
The Sugar Bowl hosts the Southeastern Conference (SEC) champion
unless (under the current BCS alignment) the team is selected to
play in the national championship game; in that case the Sugar Bowl
can select a team at-large from any conference as the host
team.
