TORONTO (Reuters) - Sluggish domestic growth and uncertainty about the

After a rather slow start, the Fiesta Bowl has emerged as one of the major
post-season games. Played in Arizona State's Sun Devil Stadium, it originally
pitted Arizona St. against an at-large rival in late December.
Attendance hovered around the 50,000 mark until the game moved to Jan. 1 after
the 1981 season, when a Penn State-Southern California matchup drew more than
70,000. The Fiesta Bowl's major status was firmly established when it became a
