Tampa, Florida March 2022 -- In an exciting announcement officials with the Bowl Association in Tampa have released the new name and logo for the bowl game previously known as the Outback Bowl. The “Tampa Bay Bowl” will continue the game’s long tradition of playing on New Year’s Day and the Bowl’s TV Network partnership with ESPN and its conference affiliations with the SEC and Big Ten/ACC will remain unchanged.
The Tampa Bay Bowl continues a 36-year tradition in the Tampa Bay community and will host teams from the Southeastern Conference and Big Ten Conference or Atlantic Coast Conference/Notre Dame in Raymond James Stadium in January 2023. Over its history, it has brought more than a million out of market visitors to the region while creating an estimated $1.1 billion in economic impact and distributing $164 million to universities. It has also contributed more than $3 million to local charities since 2016 through its Charitable Giving Initiative.
“We are thrilled about our new Tampa Bay Bowl logo and name which is a reflection of our 36-year relationship with the vibrant Tampa Bay region as one of the most exciting and hospitable destinations of any college bowl game,” notes Tampa Bay Bowl Chair Rita Lowman. “We look forward to continuing the Tampa Bay Bowl’s positive impact on college football and the Tampa Bay community, both economically and by showcasing our region nationally and internationally. The Tampa Bay Bowl will continue to impact local charities through the game’s Charitable Giving Initiative which has given more than $3 million in donations to local charities since 2016.”
