The Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl St. Petersburg (formerly the St. Petersburg Bowl) is a NCAA Division I FBS college football bowl game played annually at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. It was first played following the 2008 college football season, when it was known as the magicJack St. Petersburg Bowl after corporate sponsor magicJack. When Beef O'Brady's became the sponsor in 2009, the official name was changed to the St. Petersburg Bowl Presented by Beef 'O' Brady's. The bowl game features teams from the Big East Conference and Conference USA, unless one of the conferences does not have enough teams bowl eligible, in which case the Sun Belt Conference is eligible to send a team.
History
The Beef O' Brady's Bowl is the third college bowl game to be played in the Tampa Bay area; both the long-defunct Cigar Bowl and the ongoing Outback Bowl have been held across the bay in Tampa.
On April 30, 2008, the NCAA's Postseason Football Licensing Subcommittee approved a to-be-named bowl for Tropicana Field to be played after the 2008 college football season. On November 25, 2008, ESPN Regional Television, the game's owner, announced a one-year title sponsorship agreement with magicJack.
The inaugural game was played on Dec 20, 2008, between the South Florida Bulls and Memphis Tigers, with the USF Bulls winning by a score of 41–14. USF Quarterback Matt Grothe was named Most Outstanding Player, after throwing for 236 yards and three touchdowns and rushing for 83 yards on 15 carries.
Both the UCF Knights and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights accepted bids to play in the 2009 St. Petersburg Bowl on December 19, 2009. On December 9, 2009, the bowl's name was changed to the St. Petersburg Bowl Presented by Beef O'Brady's after the restaurant chain obtained a title sponsorship. In the second St. Petersburg Bowl, Rutgers defeated Central Florida 45-24.
The 2010 Beef 'O' Brady's bowl pitted the Southern Miss Golden Eagles against the Louisville Cardinals on December 21, 2010. It was the 29th meeting between former Conference USA rivals. After falling behind 14–0 and 21–7, Louisville came back to win their sixth contest in a row against Southern Miss, 31–28
The 2011 Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl will feature the first Sun Belt conference team to play in said game, as Florida International will play Marshall. This is the first time that either Conference USA or the Big East was unable to send a team to this game.

Stadium
Since Tropicana Field was originally designed for baseball, the football gridiron is arranged along the right field line, from home plate to the foul pole. If the new Rays Ballpark is approved and built on the site of Progress Energy Park (formerly Al Lang Stadium), the game would move there as well.[6] The game is one of three to take place in a baseball-only stadium among current post-season football contests; the others are the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl (see the Emerald Bowl), played at San Francisco's AT&T Park, the home of the San Francisco Giants, and Yankee Stadium, home of the New York Yankees, hosting the Pinstripe Bowl. Between 2000 and 2005, the Insight Bowl was played at the home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, Chase Field (see Bank One Ballpark) in Phoenix, Arizona after being moved from Tucson, while the 2001 Seattle Bowl was played at Safeco Field while Qwest Field was being built on the site of the Kingdome. Original plans had the Military Bowl (see Eaglebank Bowl) in Washington being played at Nationals Park, but the game has been played at RFK Stadium instead.
Prevew
Florida International's T.Y. Hilton garnered Heisman hype after the second week of the season, when he starred for the Golden Panthers in an upset of Louisville, catching seven passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns. But the senior FIU speedster has not had quite as much success of late, and will be looking to reverse that mojo against Marshall in the 2011 St. Petersburg Bowl on Tuesday night.
After racking up 395 receiving yards in September and 405 yards in October, Hilton's production has slowed in November, when he caught 17 passes for just 150 yards over four games for just two touchdowns. Hilton, seen as a mid-round prospect in the 2012 NFL Draft class, could use a big game to boost his stock.
Fortunately for Hilton and the Golden Panthers, he has a history of coming through in bowl games: Hilton caught three passes for 32 yards and a touchdown and had 174 yards and a touchdown on five kickoff returns against Toledo in the 2010 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl.
