SCOTTSDALE, AZ – There is a new way to celebrate and show your support for the Fiesta Bowl, with the creation of an Arizona state Fiesta Bowl-branded license plate from the Arizona Department of Transportation.
The special license plate features the iconic colorful Sunburst logo and the Fiesta Bowl wordmark in red type, on a black background. Fans may personalize the plate with a six-character limit or purchase a non-personalized plate with Fiesta Bowl branding. A disability Fiesta Bowl plate is also available.
"Over its storied, 50-year history, the Fiesta Bowl has made a memorable mark in the lives of thousands of Arizonans," Fiesta Bowl Chairman of the Board of Directors
Patrick Barkley said. "Having a Fiesta Bowl license plate is another way for our fans, volunteers and staff to share their affinity for the Fiesta Bowl. And by getting a Fiesta Bowl license plate, we are helping deliver necessary services to other nonprofits in the areas of youth, sports and education."
Interested fans can order their Fiesta Bowl plate at
www.azmvdnow.az.gov. The cost is $25 for a non-personalized Fiesta Bowl plate and $50 for a personalized Fiesta Bowl plate (six-character limit). For each registration, $17 of the proceeds goes to Fiesta Bowl Charities and programs across the state of Arizona that support youth, sports, and education.
The Fiesta Bowl Organization was founded in 1971 and has hosted 49 college football postseason games, including some of the most memorable in college football history. It has been the home to seven national championship games and 12 Heisman Trophy winners. The 2019 contest between Clemson and Ohio State was ranked the best game of 2019 by
ESPN and the best bowl game by
Yahoo! and
Bleacher Report.
As More Than Just a Game™, the Fiesta Bowl has been a community-focused organization from its start. Through year-round events and community relations activities, the nonprofit organization has given $16.5 million to the Arizona community in the last nine years through charitable giving, including $4 million in the 2019-20 season alone.
