Financial services company [[Capital One]] has been the title sponsor of the bowl since 2001 when it was the '''Capital One Florida Citrus Bowl''' but with the exclusive Capital One Bowl moniker since 2003. The bowl is operated by Florida Citrus Sports, a non-profit group which also organizes the [[Champs Sports Bowl]] and [[Florida Classic]]. Since becoming one of the premier bowls, the Capital One Bowl is traditionally held at 1 p.m. eastern on New Year's Day, immediately before the [[Rose Bowl Game|Rose Bowl]], both of which are televised on [[ESPN on ABC|ABC]]. In 2004, the Capital One Bowl bid to become the fifth [[Bowl Championship Series|BCS]] game, but was not chosen, primarily due to the stadium's aging condition. On July 26, 2007 the Orange County Commissioners voted 5-2 in favor of spending a total of 1.1 billion dollars on building a new arena for the Orlando Magic, building a performing arts center and upgrading the Citrus Bowl. If it were to become a BCS bowl, in the tradition of the major bowls, it likely be renamed the Capital One Citrus Bowl, or the Citrus Bowl, sponsored by Capital One. Currently, the bowl has tie-ins with the [[Southeastern Conference|SEC]] and the [[Big Ten Conference|Big Ten]] holding the first selection after the [[Bowl Championship Series|BCS]] for both conferences. [[As of 2006]] it has the largest payout of all the non-BCS bowls at [[USD|$]]4.25M per team.<ref>[http://www.ncaafootball.com/index.php?s=&url_channel_id=17&url_article_id=4941&url_subchannel_id=&change_well_id=2 ncaafootball.com]</ref> ==History== The game is one of the oldest of the non-BCS bowls, next to the [[Cotton Bowl (game)|Cotton Bowl]] and [[Sun Bowl]], beginning play in [[1947]]. The first game played before an estimated crowd of 9,000. By 1952, the game was dubbed the "Little Bowl with the Big Heart," because all the proceeds from the game went to charity. Before [[1968]] the game featured matchups between schools throughout the [[Southern United States|South]], often featuring the [[Ohio Valley Conference]] champion or other small colleges (though a few major colleges did play in the bowl during this early era as well). After becoming a major college bowl game, from 1968 through [[1975]] the bowl featured the [[Mid-American Conference]] champion against an opponent from the [[Southern Conference]] (through [[1972]]), the [[Southeastern Conference|SEC]] ([[1972]]-[[1973]]) or an at-large opponent ([[1975]]). As the major football conferences relaxed restrictions on post-season play in the mid-1970s, the game went to a matchup between two at-large teams from major conferences, with one school typically (but not always) from the South. From 1987 to 1991 it featured the [[Atlantic Coast Conference|ACC]] Champion against an at large opponent. In 1986, it was one of the bowl games considered for the site of the "winner take all" national championship game between Penn State and Miami before the Fiesta Bowl was eventually chosen. The 1991 game featured [[NCAA Division I-A national football championship|National Championship]] implications. [[Georgia Institute of Technology|Georgia Tech]] won the Florida Citrus Bowl, finished 11-0-1, and were voted the 1990 [[United Press International|UPI]] national champion. The 1998 game, which featured nearby [[Florida Gators football|Florida]] beating [[Penn State Nittany Lions football|Penn State]], holds the game's attendance record at 72,940. ===Racial integration=== In [[1955]], the Hillsdale Dales/Chargers team under head coach [[Muddy Waters (football coach)|Muddy Waters]] refused to play in the game despite their 9-0 record because game officials prohibited the team's black players from participating in the Game.{{Fact|date=January 2008}} ===Gainesville=== In early 1973, construction improvements were planned for the then 17,000-seat Tangerine Bowl stadium to expand to over 51,000 seats. In early summer 1973, however, construction was stalled due to legal concerns, and the improvements were delayed. Late in the 1973 college football season, Tangerine Bowl President Will Gieger and other officials planned to invite [[Miami University|Miami (Ohio)]] and [[East Carolina University|East Carolina]] to Orlando for the game. On [[November 19]], 1973, East Carolina withdrew its interests, and the bowl was left with one at-large bid. In an unexpected, and unprecedented move, game officials decided to invite the [[Florida Gators football|Florida Gators]], and move the game to [[Ben Hill Griffin Stadium|Florida Field]] in [[Gainesville, Florida|Gainesville]], their home stadium. The larger stadium would be needed to accommodate the large crowd expected. The move required special permission from the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]], and special accommodations were made. Both teams would be headquartered in Orlando for the week, and spend most of the time there, including practices. The teams were bused up to Gainesville, and at gametime, a near-record low temperature of -4 degrees Celsius (25 degrees Fahrenheit) greeted the participants. Despite the home-field advantage, in the game nicknamed the "Transplant Bowl," Miami defeated the Gators 16-7. The one-time moving of the game, and the fears of a permanent relocation, rejuvenated the stalled stadium renovations in Orlando. The game returned to Orlando for 1974, and within a couple years, the expansion project was complete. ===Mascot Contest=== Capital One also sponsors the annual "Mascot of the Year" contest.<ref>[http://www.capitalonebowl.com/About.aspx Capital One Bowl Official Site- Macott Challenge]</ref> Fans are invited to vote for their favorite college [[mascot]]. Each year, several mascots from various [[Division I#Football Bowl Subdivision|Division I FBS]]/[[Division I#Football Championship Subdivision|FCS]] schools are nominated to "play" a simulated 10-week season. The mascot with the best record will be declared the winner and is honored on the game telecast on [[ESPN on ABC|ABC]]. The 2007 season's theme was based on the [[U.S. Open (golf)|U.S. Open]]''.
