The Liberty Bowl has had three different homes. From 1959 through
1963, it was played in cold weather before small crowds in Philadelphia.
This is where the name was derived. It moved in
1964 to the Atlantic City Convention Hall, where the game drew only
6,000 fans, but was the first bowl game to be played indoors. The bowl
was then moved south to Memphis, TN, where it finally found a suitable
host stadium and community. In spite of its erratic early history, the
Liberty Bowl is one of the oldest college bowl games. It now features a Conference USA team against an at-large opponent.
Traditionally a December game, the Liberty Bowl was played in January
for the first time in 2009.
