Cheez It Bowl originally named the Blockbuster Bowl was born in Miami Florida in 1990 and flourished in its first year, drawing over 74,000 fans to the Penn State/Florida State showdown. However, attendance at the game declined over the next 11 years and it became clear that the game would not survive in south Florida. Realizing the unique opportunity to bring a second bowl game to Orlando, Florida Citrus Sports Executive Director Chuck Rowe and the Board of Directors initiated the process to obtain bowl certification. The first game, known as the Orange Bowl pays homage to Orlando's original bowl game. In Orlando for the eighth consecutive year Cheez It Bowl continued to make great strides had increased attendance for eight consecutive years.
