CHAMPS SPORTS BOWL

The 'Champs Sports Bowl' is an annual college football bowl game that is played in Orlando, Florida. The game was played at Pro Player Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida from 1990 to 2000 and is now played at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando.
Since the 2006 football season, the bowl matches up teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference and the Big Ten Conference. Since 2004, Champs Sports, a division of Foot Locker, has sponsored the event. The bowl is operated by Florida Citrus Sports, a non-profit group which also organizes the Capital One Bowl and Florida Classic. Under the terms of a television deal signed with ESPN in 2006, the bowl will be held after Christmas Day from 2006-2009, and be shown on ESPN in prime time. The change was made to move the game from the less-desirable pre-Christmas date utilized from 2001-2004.
Before gaining Blockbuster Entertainment as a corporate sponsor in 1990, the game was also referred to as the 'Sunshine Classic'.
