message: Official press notice
Since from now on it is the Chick-fil-A Bowl, I think the page should be moved. It will not be the Peach Bowl again until the current contract expires. Bsd987 21:06, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Agreed; will (request to) move to official name. Jjjsixsix 05:35, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

text: It's never been called that BEFORE now though for the last several years it has been offically the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl because of the company's sponsorship. The new, more expensive sponsorship deal they agreed to however means the official name of the game changes to just the Chick-Fil-A Bowl. Lots of people in Atlanta aren't happy about dropping the Peach part either, and certainly it will continue to be referred to my many folks as the Peach Bowl, just as many still call the Capital One Bowl the Citrus Bowl (old name).

replies: text: and specifically to Jonathunder's question on media references -- yes, from now on it will be the Chick-fil-A Bowl and media will no longer use Peach.  (like you never hear Citrus in the media) -Jcbarr 04:14, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested move

message: Forgive my ignorance, I'm not a sports fan. Is it really commonly called "Chick-fil-A Bowl" in media references? How about in everyday conversation? Even I, as someone who almost never watches football, knew where the "Peach Bowl" was, but "Chick-fil-A Bowl" is not quite as evocative, to say the least. Jonathunder 00:02, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Teams? 

message: Where does "peach" come from?  It needs to be included.174.3.125.23 (talk) 13:44, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It's called that because the game is held in Atlanta, Georgia. The State of Georgia is nicknamed the "Peach State", as peaches are grown there. However, I don't have a direct reliable source for that as the root of the bowl's name, though it is common knowledge. Also, a person from Georgia, especially a girl or woman, is sometimes called a "Georgia peach". Ty Cobb, a famous American baseball player (male), was known by the nickname "the Georgia Peach". Georgia's heathcare system for low-income children is even called "Peachcare". - BilCat (talk) 00:25, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: I reverted the recent change as premature. Let's wait for reliable souces that the name has actually been changed. Those sources are over 7 months old, and the specifics may have changed since then. - BilCat (talk) 19:06, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the article should be moved. The official website has it as the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, as does this website, and this website. Corkythehornetfan(talk) 22:14, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

message: Is it really necessary to list the charity contributions of the Peach Bowl in the lead? I get it being listed somewhere in the article, but it seems too unimportant to list that early on. It also seems a bit impartial. Vavent (talk) 04:43, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree; undue weight in the lead. I moved it. Dmoore5556 (talk) 05:06, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
