Music City Bowl Information
The Music City Bowl is a post-season American college football game certified by the NCAA that has been played in Nashville, Tennessee, since 1998. Beginning in 1999, the game has been played at The Coliseum, home of the Tennessee Titans. Beginning in 2002, the game became known as the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl. In 2003, it became officially called the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl Presented by Bridgestone. The game initially featured a matchup between represenatives of the Southeastern Conference and the Big East Conference, but the Big East was replaced by the Big Ten Conference effective in 2002.
Previous sponsors of the bowl game have included American General Life & Accident (now a subsidiary of AIG) in the inaugural 1998 game, and the now-defunct "homepoint.com" in the 1999 game. There was no sponsor in 2000 and 2001. The 2005 game will again feature teams from the Southeastern Conference and the Big Ten Conference. The game will take place on Friday, December 30, 2005 at 11am Central Standard Time and will be televised live on ESPN.
The Coliseum is a football stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, used primarily as the home stadium of the NFL's Tennessee Titans, but also used by Tennessee State University. It is also the site of the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl, a postseason college football game played each December. The Coliseum is located on the east bank of the Cumberland River, directly across the river from downtown Nashville. Its capacity is slightly under 69,000.
The Coliseum also doubles as a large concert venue, although very few concerts are scheduled there due to attendance that did not approach capacity. The main stage for the annual CMA Music Festival (formerly Fan Fair), held every June, is located in the Coliseum. A large Billy Graham Crusade was held at The Coliseum in the summer of 2000.
The facility was originally known as Adelphia Coliseum in a naming rights arrangement, but after Adelphia missed a required payment and subsequently filed for bankruptcy in 2002 this name was dropped. The stadium was completed in 1999; its construction was delayed when the construction site was hit by a tornado that struck downtown Nashville on April 16, 1998 and destroyed several cranes, but the stadium opened in time for the first scheduled event.
