[edit] Requested move

Official press notice

Since from now on it is the Chick-fil-A Bowl, I think the page should be moved. It will not be the Peach Bowl again until the current contract expires. Bsd987 21:06, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Agreed; will (request to) move to official name. Jjjsixsix 05:35, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Move please. Only reason non-admins can't do it is because the redirect at "Chick-fil-A Bowl" was changed once. -Jcbarr 22:09, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Move - It is the new official name - Peach Bowl should become a redirect to help those searching on the 'old' name. AUTiger ʃ ^talk/_work 20:36, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Support (unfortunately) based on correct name. Olessi 23:34, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Support as per Olessi's "unfortunately"! --Lox (t,c) 08:46, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Support unfortunately indeed. As long as Peach Bowl remains in the first sentence. LuiKhuntek 00:30, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
Support accuracy.—jiy (talk) 01:07, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Move - It is the new official name. AriGold 13:46, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Forgive my ignorance, I'm not a sports fan. Is it really commonly called "Chick-fil-A Bowl" in media references? How about in everyday conversation? Even I, as someone who almost never watches football, knew where the "Peach Bowl" was, but "Chick-fil-A Bowl" is not quite as evocative, to say the least. Jonathunder 00:02, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

It's never been called that BEFORE now though for the last several years it has been offically the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl because of the company's sponsorship. The new, more expensive sponsorship deal they agreed to however means the official name of the game changes to just the Chick-Fil-A Bowl. Lots of people in Atlanta aren't happy about dropping the Peach part either, and certainly it will continue to be referred to my many folks as the Peach Bowl, just as many still call the Capital One Bowl the Citrus Bowl (old name). AUTiger ʃ ^talk/_work 03:41, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

and specifically to Jonathunder's question on media references -- yes, from now on it will be the Chick-fil-A Bowl and media will no longer use Peach. (like you never hear Citrus in the media) -Jcbarr 04:14, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

I will defer to others more familiar with the subject as to whether it should be moved, but whatever is decided, please do not move by cut-and-paste as that leaves all the revision history behind, which is not a good thing. If it is moved, it needs to be done properly. I am a nuetral admin, and am willing to help move it properly if there is a consensus to do so. Let's wait just a bit and see if anyone else comments.

Moved. winces —Nightstallion (?) 08:31, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
