The inaugural game was sponsored by Blockbuster and was called the Blockbuster Bowl. Since 2001, the bowl has been operated by Florida Citrus Sports. During it’s existence, the bowl has had many sponsors including Carquest, Micron PC and Mazda. The 2001 through 2003 games were called the Tangerine Bowl.
