I would like to see it, and I bet a few others would, too! Go Frogs!
I'd like to be able to get a photo next to or at least near that thing. That trophy is insane.I would like to see it, and I bet a few others would, too! Go Frogs!
I am sure it will be in the Hall of Fame in Schollmeyer eventually. Might need some extra security for this one.
Actually Mark Cohen was carrying it off the field and tripped on the sideline and it's smashed to pieces now.
TCU will get a replica trophy
I would hope so. Having a $1M trophy sitting in our athletic offices would not be good.From the above link, "A far less impressive replica".
The Fiesta Bowl Trophy created by Molina Fine Jewelers now resides at the Ziegler Fiesta Bowl Museum for everyone to enjoy. The museum is located at 7135 East Camelback Road, #190, Scottsdale, Arizona 85251…
What's the idea behind winning a trophy if you don't get to keep it. Even the Stanley Cup can be paraded around by the winners for a year.
Not the entire year. The franchises get basically 2 months with it, including each player's individual day. The rest of the year it's on display at a mall in Toronto.
So do the Frogs just get a replica?The Fiesta is definitely a Stunning trophy to see, even though I usually prefer the kind you can drink out of as well. May have been mentioned already, but it was on display at that "Playoff Fan Central" Event at the LA Convention Center - downtown -- along with Rose, Orange, Peach, Natty, and Heisman Trophies. You could take pictures next to each (modern miracle they didn't even charge! unlike the $35 chicken finger basket). The Fiesta Trophy was by far the best looking of them all. Glad to post a pic if anyone wants to see what it looked like. My 14 year old son and I ended up down there Sunday after I got an alert on that CFP App, but unfortunately stayed til end and then realized I couldn't make it back to Santa Monica by 4 p.m. with LA traffic/parking, etc. so I've been totally bummed we didn't make the TCU pep rally. At least we got a few good pics of trophies the Frogs have won and saw the TCU band and showgirls perform there. Hope that real trophy makes it to TCU for a week - but they'll probably need a Brinks truck and Czech security guards for that to happen.
Is it next to a Dentist's office?AKA the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. Been there. It's pretty interesting.
Great question. I always assumed the University receives the real trophy after winning the bowl games -- but if that thing is worth over $2 million, I'd find it hard to believe the Fiesta Bowl would create and give out one of those every year.So do the Frogs just get a replica?
