Sugar Bowl History

When it comes to college football bowl games, the Allstate Sugar Bowl ranks right up there with the best of them. Held each New Year’s Day at the New Orleans Superdome, tickets for the Sugar Bowl sell out well in advance, so the best way to get there is with a Sugar Bowl travel package from Premiere Sports Travel. Our Sugar Bowl travel packages include New Orleans hotel rooms, Sugar Bowl game tickets and more.

In its more than 70-year history, the Sugar Bowl has featured premier teams like Notre Dame, LSU, Georgia, Auburn, Florida, Florida State and many others. The list of past Sugar Bowl MVPs is equally impressive – including #1 NFL draft pick JaMarcus Russell, the legendary Bo Jackson and Hall of Famer Dan Marino to name just a few. As one of the BCS bowls, the Sugar Bowl is assured of getting two top teams each year, and the result is almost always an exciting finish, like West Virginia’s amazing 38-35 win over Georgia in 2006 or Tennessee’s 23-22 squeaker against Virginia in 1991. Except maybe for New York City, there is no better place to celebrate New Year’s Eve than New Orleans, and with a Sugar Bowl tour package you can do just that and then enjoy one of college football’s best bowl games.

The Big Easy is now well on its way to recovery from the effects of Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans hotel rooms are once again filling up. You can experience all the city has to offer with a Sugar Bowl tour package – sample the world-famous Cajun cuisine, walk the French Quarter, listen to great live music and then head over to the Superdome with your Sugar Bowl game tickets. Plus you can enjoy the Sugar Bowl Fan Fest and Sugar Bowl Fan Jam. So order your Sugar Bowl travel package soon and get ready for a memorable trip to New Orleans.
