The Gator Bowl is an annual college
football bowl game played at EverBank Field in
Jacksonville, Florida. Held continuously since 1946, it is the
sixth oldest college bowl, as well as
the first one ever televised nationally. Since 1996, it has been
one of the bowl games that are
regularly played on January 1 (New Year's Day); when New Year's Day
falls on a Sunday, the
game is then played on the following Monday.

Ohio State coach Woody Hayes lost his
temper after a late game interception by Clemson nose guard Charlie
Bauman, who stepped in
front of the receiver on a screen pass from quarterback Art
Schlichter. Bauman ran the ball out of
bounds on the Ohio State sideline where Hayes struck Bauman with
his right forearm. The play
sealed the Tigers' 17–15 win over the Buckeyes and Hayes was
fired the next day before leaving
Jacksonville.

D. In the early years of the bowl, from
1946–195(D), it
featured a team from the Southern
Conference against an at-large opponent. The next year it switched

Southeastern Conference (SEC) team against an at-large
opponent.
E. The association comprises 225 Gator
Bowl Committee members, 8(E)
Chairman’s Club
members and sponsors, more than 700 volunteers, plus over a dozen
paid staff members. In
addition to the Gator Bowl, the GBA has also coordinated other
events. It hosted the ACC
Championship Game from 2005 to 2007 and the River City Showdown, a
neutral site game
between the Florida State Seminoles and another team, in 2007 and
2008.
F. The 1946 and 1947 games were played
in Fairfield Stadium, which had a seating capacity of
7,600. The stadium was expanded to 16,000 seats in 1948, and the
structure was renamed the
Gator Bowl. Prior to the 1949 game, the seating capacity was
expanded to 36,058, at which it
remained until 1957. That stadium hosted the game through
19(F)3, when it was
almost
completely demolished for the construction of Jacksonville
Municipal Stadium (now EverBank
Field) on the same site. During the construction, the 1994 Gator
Bowl was played instead at Ben
Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida; the game following
the 1995 season and all
subsequent games were moved to January 1.
