"The Allstate Sugar Bowl is proud of its long-standing commitment to community events," said Jeff Hundley, Allstate Sugar Bowl CEO. "From the start in 1934, the Sugar Bowl has sponsored countless amateur competitions, including numerous high-level tennis tournaments. When the opportunity arose to pursue a USTA-sanctioned junior tennis tournament in 2016, we were thrilled. We appreciate the efforts of the tennis community, particularly City Park and the USTA, who have worked hard to build this tournament into a marquee national event."
 
The 33 states represented were: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina. Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia.
 
The Sugar Bowl has a long history with the sport of tennis. It sponsored a junior tennis tournament from 1948-1993. It evolved into a collegiate and international tourney from 1994 to 2001. The junior tennis tournament debuted in 2016 and was contested for four years before COVID forced its cancellation in 2020 and 2021. Damages to the City Park Tennis Center from Hurricane Ida cancelled the 2022 event. However, in 2023, it returned to the elite level with a high-quality, entertaining event.
 
The Allstate Sugar Bowl has established itself as one of the premier college football bowl games, having hosted 29 national champions, 110 Hall of Fame players, 55 Hall of Fame coaches and 21 Heisman Trophy winners in its 91-year history. The 92nd Allstate Sugar Bowl Football Classic, which will double as a College Football Playoff Quarterfinal, is scheduled to be played on January 1, 2026. In addition to football, the Sugar Bowl Committee annually invests over $1 million into the community through the hosting and sponsorship of sporting events, awards, scholarships and clinics. Through these efforts, the organization supports and honors thousands of student-athletes each year, while injecting over $2.5 billion into the local economy in the last decade.
