against an at-large opponent. Games are now played at Sun Bowl Stadium
on the campus of the University of Texas at El Paso
. The first three were played at El Paso High School Stadium (1935–1937), then switched to Kidd Field

) or January 2; since then, with the exception of a January 2 game in 1977, the game has been played in December with the last 15 games played on or near December 31.
