The 'Sun Bowl' is an annual college football bowl game that is played usually at the end of December in El Paso, Texas. It is the second oldest continuously played bowl games, which began in 1935. The game, which was chartered in 1934, has been played 73 times. In most of its early history, the game pitted the champion of the Border Conference against an at-large opponent. Games are now played at Sun Bowl Stadium on the campus of the University of Texas at El Paso. The first three were played at El Paso High School Stadium (1935-37), then switched to Kidd Field until the present stadium was ready in 1963.
The game's current full title is the 'Brut Sun Bowl' after its sponsor Brut, which is owned by Helen of Troy Limited, who also owned the previous game sponsor, Vitalis. The name change occurred August 8, 2006, after Helen of Troy extended its partnership through 2009 with the Sun Bowl Association. This marks the eighth change in the game's name. It was previously called the Sun Bowl (1935-85 and 1994-95), 'John Hancock Sun Bowl' (1986-89), 'John Hancock Bowl' (1990-93), 'Norwest Sun Bowl' (1996-98), 'Wells Fargo Sun Bowl' (1999-2003, after Norwest merged with Wells Fargo), and 'Vitalis Sun Bowl' (2004-05).
The Brut Sun Bowl matches the Pac-10 Conference against either the Big 12 Conference, Big East Conference or the University of Notre Dame from 2006-09. The rotating deal will feature a Big 12 school twice over the next four years and a Big East school or Notre Dame twice from 2006-09. Its contract with CBS Sports is the longest continuous relationship with one network, spanning since 1968.
