Miami vs. Florida State - The Orange Bowl 2004
Click here for
Orange Bowl Tickets.
In 1935, an effort to
bring tourism to South Florida resulted in the formation of the
Orange Bowl Committee. The Orange Bowl Committee decided that a
sports spectacle dubbed the Orange Bowl Festival was the answer to
attracting thousands of fans to the area. The tradition that began
as little more than a New Year's Day football game between
Bucknell and the University of Miami has grown into the annual
Orange Bowl Festival - the single largest tourist attraction in
South Florida.
