Fort Worth Bowl now the Armed Forces Bowl

August 23, 2006

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- The Fort Worth Bowl will now be known as the Armed Forces Bowl.

The change was made to "honor our nation's men and women in uniform, which gives us tremendous pride," the game's president, Tom Starr, said Wednesday.

As part of the name change, Bell Helicopter will be the new title sponsor.

The bowl, going into its fourth year, didn't have a title sponsor last year when Kansas beat Houston 42-13. This year's game is Dec. 23 and will match a Conference USA team against one from the Mountain West.

Bowl festivities will include a fan area featuring military hardware, a flyover, induction ceremonies on the field and a military band and honor guard. Military veterans will receive ticket discounts and active duty personnel will be given complimentary tickets.
