for four decades after its 1920 inception, the nfl successfully fended off several rival leagues. in 1960, the nfl encountered its most serious competitor when the american football league (afl) was formed. the afl vied with the nfl for players and fans. the original "bowl game" was the rose bowl game in pasadena, california, which was first played in 1902 as the "tournament east-west football game" as part of the pasadena tournament of roses and moved to the new rose bowl stadium in 1923. the stadium got its name from the fact that the game played there was part of the tournament of roses and that it was shaped like a bowl, much like the yale bowl in new haven, connecticut. the tournament of roses football game eventually came to be known as the rose bowl game. exploiting the rose bowl game's popularity, post-season college football contests were created for miami (the orange bowl), new orleans (the sugar bowl), and el paso (the sun bowl) in 1935, and for dallas (the cotton bowl) in 1937. by the time the first super bowl was played, the term "bowl" for any major american football game was well established.
