Frisco Bowl
The Frisco Bowl is an annual National Collegiate Athletic Association sanctioned post-season Division I Football Bowl Subdivision college football bowl game played in Frisco, Texas, since December 2017. The bowl has a tie-in with the American Athletic Conference, and chooses another team at-large. Originally known as the DXL Frisco Bowl, the bowl has been sponsored by Tropical Smoothie Cafe since 2019 and is officially the Tropical Smoothie Cafe Frisco Bowl.
History
On April 21, 2017, it was announced that the Miami Beach Bowl—which had been owned and operated by the American Athletic Conference —had been sold to ESPN Events and that it would relocate to Frisco, Texas, to be played in Toyota Stadium starting in the 2017 season. On November 8, 2017, it was announced that Destination XL Group, a retailer specializing in big and tall menswear, had signed on as the inaugural title sponsor of the bowl. On December 3, 2017, SMU and Louisiana Tech were announced as the teams for the inaugural playing of the bowl. In 2019, Tropical Smoothie Cafe became the new title sponsor.Conference tie-ins
Initial planning had been to have teams from The American face a Sun Belt opponent in 2017 and 2019, and face a MAC opponent in 2018. In 2017, the inaugural game featured a matchup between The American and Conference USA. The Frisco Bowl currently has an affiliation with The American through the 2021 season, with opponents to be selected at-large. The 2018 matchup featured teams from the MAC and Mountain West, as The American was unable to provide a team, due to its champion, UCF, receiving a New Year's Six bowl bid. MAC and Mountain West teams again met in 2019, as The American's champion, Memphis, again received a New Year's Six bid.Game results
