From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Prairie View Bowl was a postseason
college football
bowl game normally held on New Year's Day in
Houston, Texas . The game was first held following the 1928 season. The annual game matched
Prairie View A&M against a team from another
historically black college or university (HBCU). From 1929 through 1952 the game was played in
Buffalo Stadium , which was primarily a
Minor League Baseball park. In 1953 the game moved to
Public School Stadium (renamed Jeppesen Stadium in 1958) where it remained until the bowl folded. The 33rd and last game was played January 1, 1961. Prairie View's record in the 33 games was 19–12–2 (.606).
