The Peach Bowl, is an college football bowl game played in
Atlanta, Georgia since December 1968. The first three Peach Bowls
were played at Grant Field on the Georgia Tech campus in Atlanta.
Between 1971 and 1991, Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium hosted the
game. Since then, the Georgia Dome has played host. Seven of the
first ten meetings (all but the 1968, 1971 and 1974 games) pitted
an Atlantic Coast Conference team against an at-large opponent.
Since 1993, the game has matched a Southeastern Conference team
against one from the ACC.
The game was originally created as a fund-raiser by the Lions
Clubs of Georgia but in 1968, after years of lackluster attendance
and revenue, the game was taken over by the Chamber of Commerce.
Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A became the title sponsor of the event
with the 1998 game. Beginning with the December 2006 game,
Chick-fil-A assumed complete naming rights to the game in a five
year, $22 million, sponsorship deal, ending almost forty years of
the Peach Bowl name (we still call it the Peach Bowl). The bowl
currently has the fifth overall selection from the SEC (including
the BCS). In 2007 the Peach Bowl became the best-attended non-BCS
bowl for the last decade, and had the 3rd longest bowl sellout
streak behind the Rose and Fiesta Bowls.
