The International Bowl is the only post-season bowl game played outside the United States and the first since the Bacardi Bowl was played in Cuba on January 1, 1937. The inaugural game in 2007 matched up Western Michigan University with the University of Cincinnati. Ball State and Rutgers have accepted bids for the 2008 International Bowl.
[edit] History
The first game was played on January 6, 2007 at the Rogers Centre, home to the CFL's Toronto Argonauts. In 2004, a partnership led by the City of Toronto bid to host a bowl game in Toronto to help the city recover from its loss of tourism dollars due to the 2003 SARS outbreak, but the NCAA sanctioned the new Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego instead. Toronto re-launched the bid in 2005 and was successful, playing the first game at the end of 2006 season.
