75TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SUN 

BOWL 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a 

previous order of the House, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. REYES) is recognized for 5 minutes. 

Mr. REYES. Mr. Speaker, I rise 

today to recognize a special occasion in 

the American university athletics, the 

75th anniversary of the Sun Bowl, a 

proud tradition in college football that 

has been hosted in my district of El 

Paso, Texas. 

The Sun Bowl is the second oldest 

bowl game in the United States and a 

major national attraction that brings 

together thousands of loyal college 

football fans each year to watch teams 

from the Pac-10, Big 12 and Big East 

Conferences. 

As we celebrate the 75th anniversary 

of the Sun Bowl, I want to recognize 

the Sun Bowl Association, the sponsors, and all of the fans from El Paso 

and throughout the Nation who have 

made this annual event a tremendous 

success. In particular, I would like to 

acknowledge Bernie Olivas, Executive 

Director of the Sun Bowl Association, 

and Gerald Rubin, CEO of Helen of 

Troy, for sponsoring this great event, 

as well as Joe Valenzuela, Frank Bates 

and Linda East, current, incoming and 

past presidents of the Sun Bowl Association Board of Directors. 

At its humble beginnings, the Sun 

Bowl was put together as a fund-raiser 

by the Kiwanis Club in 1935. The event 

originated as a small high school 

matchup and grew into a major nationally televised bowl game in Division I 

football. As you can see by this first 

picture, this captured some of the flavor of the history in El Paso that was 

known then as ‘‘the Sun Bowl City.’’ 

The first game featured the El Paso 

High School All-Stars versus the Ranger High School Bulldogs and was 

played at the El Paso High School stadium, where the All-Star team came 

from behind to garner a 25–21 victory 

over the Bulldogs. 

The Sun Bowl Association was 

formed immediately after that successful first game, and a coalition of local 

El Paso area service clubs, including 

the Rotary, Lions, Optimist, and the 

20–30 Club, joined together to coordinate events around the bowl game 

every year. 

After gathering input from the community, the event was named the Sun 

Bowl, and the first collegiate game was 

played in 1936. This game was a match 

between New Mexico A&M—which is 

now New Mexico State—and HardinSimmons College, and the Sun Bowl 

has grown from there. In its inception, 

it was played at the 15,000-seat Kidd 

Field in 1938 on the campus of what is 

now the University of Texas at El 

Paso. The game was moved again in 

1963 to our new 30,000-seat Sun Bowl 

Stadium. And in 1982, the Sun Bowl 

game took place in the newly expanded 

Sun Bowl Stadium, with a seating capacity of over 50,000 people. This is a 

picture of our Sun Bowl Stadium.
