Little known (it seems) facts about the Sugar Bowl

[Suerreal]

1. There is only one Sugar Bowl game this year.
2. There are 2 games played in New Orleans, being organized by the Sugar Bowl committee, with teams selected under BCS rules, but the 2nd of these is the Allstate BCS National Championship Game, not the 2nd Sugar Bowl.
3. There is not, and never was, a Sugar Bowl stadium, the way there is a Rose Bowl in Pasadena, an Orange Bowl in Miami, a Cotton Bowl in Dallas, and a Sun Bowl in El Paso. The Sugar Bowl was played at Tulane Stadium from its inception in 1935 until it moved to the SuperDome in 1975. Tulane Stadium was sometimes informally referred to as the Sugar Bowl, but never officailly named that. It was demolished in 1980.

yeah, i don't really see what the big issue with this is, but still is this still a "bowl" game? would it be included in a team's "bowl record", etc...?
