[edit] History

The New Orleans Bowl is a post-season college football bowl game that has been played annually at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana from 2001 to 2004. The game was sponsored by Wyndham Hotels from 2002 to 2004 and was officially called the Wyndham New Orleans Bowl. It has since been sponsored by R+L Carriers and entitled the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.

The first year featured North Texas from the Sun Belt Conference playing Colorado State from the Mountain West Conference. It is now played between the conference champion of the Sun Belt and a team from Conference USA.

Due to damage by Hurricane Katrina to the Louisiana Superdome, the 2005 game was played on December 20 in Lafayette, Louisiana at Cajun Field on the campus of University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and was dubbed the New Orleans Bowl at Lafayette.
