Tampa Bay Bowl Tickets

Outback Bowl Game Tickets

Secure your Outback Bowl tickets to see two of the top teams from the Big Ten and SEC in a battle for supremacy! The Outback Bowl started in 1986 and was known as the Hall of Fame Bowl through 1994. The name changed when Outback Steakhouse became the title sponsor in 1995. In addition to a new name, the game also signed conference tie-in deals with the Big Ten Conference and Southeastern Conference which have remained in place ever since. The game usually features at least one nationally ranked team due to the strength of the Power Five conferences.

Some of the more successful teams in the history of the bowl include the Iowa Hawkeyes, Michigan Wolverines, South Carolina Gamecocks, Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs. Each of these teams has made multiple appearances and won three or more Outback Bowl games. In addition to the regular appearances by Big Ten and SEC teams, there have been occasions where Independent, ACC and Big East squads have played in the game. There’s no better way to spend your New Year’s Day than at an NCAA college bowl game.
