Cheez-It Bowl

The Cheez-It Bowl has become one of the most popular events in Arizona since its inaugural edition took place in 1989. Over the years, the bowl game has undergone various name changes owing to the different sponsors and supporting partners.

From 1989 till 1996, it was known as the Copper Bowl. This changed to the Insight.com Bowl in 1997 and stayed that way until 2001. From 2002 through to 2011, it was the Insight Bowl before Buffalo Wild Wings took over sponsorship for the games in 2012 and 2013. After being known as the Cactus Bowl from 2014 to 2017, it became the Cheez-It Bowl in 2018.

The Arizona Stadium on the University of Arizona campus was the game’s first home. It has since been played at the Chase Field as well as the Sun Devil Stadium. The latter serves as the permanent home of the Cheez-It Bowl with the game expected to move back there once renovation work on the arena is completed.

All in all, 21 college teams have appeared more than once in the Cheez-It Bowl. The Kansas State Wildcats lead the way, having featured 4 times and compiled a 3-1 record.
