History

Tulane Stadium housed the game from 1935 through 1974; it has been played in the Louisiana Superdome since. Tulane Stadium (demolished in 1981) was also often referred to as "The Sugar Bowl". The Sugar Bowl's corporate title sponsor was USF&G Financial Services from 1987 to 1995 and Nokia cellular telephones of Finland from 1995 to the present. ABC Sports has televised the game since 1969.

The 2006 Sugar Bowl game will be played at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia due the extensive damage to the Louisiana Superdome from Hurricane Katrina. The game will be played as scheduled on Monday, January 2nd as the dome must already accommodate the Peach Bowl on December 30th and an Atlanta Falcons NFL game on January 1. Preliminary plans call for the Sugar Bowl to return to a refurbished Superdome in 2007.

Prior to the BCS, the game traditionally hosted the Southeastern Conference champion against a top-tier at-large opponent. In years it does not host the BCS title game and the SEC champion is not involved in the title game, the Sugar Bowl has the option to select that team.
