It is the 2nd oldest bowl. IIRC, it is the only one CBS still broadcasts. And Bernie Olivas and the rest of the Sun Bowl crew do a great job of treating the teams well. The teams arrival greeting is very, very festive at the airport. Sometimes too festive. Here's a more recent picture looking the the same end zone after Larry Durham built them a new complex. The glass is the weight room which looks to the South over the Sun Bowl, part of the campus, downtown EP and Juarez as well. Great view....especially at night. Well, great view with the exception of those warm winter days/cold nights with no wind. The inversion causes the smog to settle right there and it looks like LA or Phoenix.
