2005 won't see Louisiana State University or the University
of Miami (Florida) at a BCS bowl, but they came close, both being highly ranked
all season. So LSU (10-2) vs. Miami (9-2) at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl promises
to be a spectacular contest. Get your Peach Bowl tickets now to be in Atlanta
cheering on the LSU Tigers or the Miami Hurricanes! The
Peach Bowl was first recognized officially as part of the NCAA post-season in
1968. Since 1996, it has carried the name Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, and as the event
has grown, so have its scholarship and charitable contributions, now totally in
the millions of dollars. It is held at the Georgia Dome, which is the home of
the National Football League's Atlanta Falcons. As high as a 27-story building
with a roof made of fiberglass panels coated in Teflon, the Georgia Dome is holds
over 71,500 sports fans, and attendance at the Peach Bowl has maxed out in recent
years. Getting Peach Bowl tickets is a goal of football fans from all over the
Southeast and beyond, who perennially make it the most highly attended bowl game
outside the Bowl Championship Series. The
Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl is always a competition between two conferences, the Atlantic
Coast Conference and the Southeastern Conference. Traditionally matchups between
the ACC and SEC are high scoring and close games. The game is held around the
30th of December to the second of January. It is possibly the only time teams
from these two rival conferences will play each other, so you'll want to get your
Peach Bowl tickets soon before they are gone. The Peach Bowl was held for the
first time on December 30th, 1968. The game was between LSU and Florida State
with LSU winning 31-27. The history of the
Peach Bowl shows that it is one of the most intense and important bowl games of
all. Team scores are on average as close as seven points between winning and losing,
while it is rare for any bowl game to be decided by a margin of less than ten
points. Many of football's renowned coaches and star players have participated
here--Harris Barton, Dick Bestwick, Randy White, and Jerry Claiborne are all in
the Peach Bowl Hall of Fame. |
