The Dixie Rotary Bowl was a college football bowl game initiated by the Rotary Club of St. George, Utah, and first played in 1986 at Greater Zion Stadium, the home field of Utah Tech University's predecessor institution, Dixie State Junior College. From 1986 to 2005, the game was a junior college bowl sanctioned by the National Junior College Athletic Association, featuring top NJCAA teams. The bowl was an NCAA Division II game from 2006 through 2008 after Dixie State became a four-year college and transitioned to Division II. The game was canceled before the beginning of the 2009 season, after the home team had failed to appear in consecutive seasons, reducing local interest.[1]
