Gator Bowl Tickets

Though perhaps not quite as amazing as Boise State’s improbable victory in last year’s Fiesta Bowl, the Gator Bowl was certainly an exciting game for those lucky enough to have Gator Bowl tickets. The fans at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium (formerly Alltel Stadium) that day saw West Virginia come back from 18 points down to beat Georgia Tech 38-35 while setting a Gator Bowl record for points. And that’s an impressive record considering the history of the game goes back to 1946, when just over 7,000 Gator Bowl tickets were sold for the inaugural game.

In recent years, Gator Bowl attendance has eclipsed 80,000 as fans flock to see the ACC take on a team from either the Big 12 or Big East. This year’s Gator Bowl will feature the Texas Tech Red Raiders against the Virginia Cavaliers in what should be a high-scoring battle.

Formerly known as the Toyota Gator Bowl, this year’s edition will be called the Konica Minolta Gator Bowl. No matter what you call it, the Gator Bowl has a fair amount of history to it, including the infamous 1978 game when Ohio State head coach Woody Hayes punched a Clemson player after an interception and ended up being fired the next day. Of course there have been better moments as well, with stars like Earl Campbell, Thurman Thomas and Donovan McNabb playing in past Gator Bowls.
