Orlando, FL – Established in 1946 as the Hula Bowl All-Star Football Classic game, the Hula bowl is played by college seniors, after the NCAA regular season. Throughout its tenure, the game historically took place at the Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii. Rich in history, the Hula Bowl also knows when to embrace change and excel in an ever-changing landscape.
There has been overwhelming support to bring the game to Florida at the University of Central Florida Bounce House in 2022. The community has extended a gracious and warm welcome as the organizers have been planning the game, which will be televised on CBS Sports Network, with a noon kickoff, on Saturday, January 15.
As a longstanding pillar of the Orlando, Florida community, Orlando Health is excited to be the official medical team for the inaugural playing of the Hula Bowl at UCF’s famed Bounce House where Orlando Health continues a strong tradition of providing medical personnel for the UCF Golden Knights.
