Why did they discontinue it?
The last time the Orange Bowl was played was in 1996. It isn’t uncommon for universities to cancel their football teams for a variety of reasons, including lack of interest, financial problems, and other issues. The University of Miami had canceled their football team before then as well at one point, but that was due to sanctions received from certain activities involving the players during the early 90s (involving drugs).

What’s special about the Orange Bowl?
The fact that there is no other bowl game like this anymore. There are many college football bowl games nowadays, but nothing similar to this specific game. It was discontinued due to financial problems and other issues with the university at that time, but since then popularity has been resurgent for college football and especially collegiate sports teams in general, so there is a chance we may see something like this again someday hopefully.
There were many memorable things about this particular bowl game such as:
- Fans of both teams dressing up in orange and green
- The Miami Hurricanes football team (the actual team) performing their pregame rituals
- Cheerleaders from the university performing at halftime
- Players for this college football team playing in front of a raucous crowd, most of them coming from the same state that they represented and played for.
Who made it?
The Orange Bowl was made by an organization called the Orange Bowl Committee, which is a group of people who run all sorts of events and activities related to college football. They were in charge of this specific bowl game for many years before they discontinued it.
Conclusion
The Orange Bowl is an American college football bowl game that was played in Miami, FL between the University of Miami Hurricanes and some other school until 1996. There is no current Orange Bowl as it’s only been discontinued due to financial problems and other issues with the university at that time.
If you were unable to attend one such event before it was discontinued, people will look for anything and everything to replicate that, no matter how much time has passed or how many years it’s been. It’s a novelty we only get the chance to experience so frequently in life, and sometimes never at all in our lifetime. So when something special disappears from our lives we hold on to the memories we had participating in these events until one day they can return once again.
