According to ESPN, the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl, which has been played every year since its inception in 1935, is now the 9th bowl game that has been canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The game was scheduled for the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas, on Dec. 31.

El Paso has been dealing with a COVID-19 surge for several weeks. 

The Sun Bowl is tied for the second-longest consecutively played postseason bowl game, behind only the Rose Bowl Game.

The Sun Bowl is the ninth bowl game canceled because of COVID-19; the Bahamas, Celebration, Fenway, Hawaii, Holiday, Motor City, Pinstripe and Redbox bowls are the others.
