2008 Pro Bowl

Congratulations to the NFC, winners of the 2008 Pro Bowl, and especially to MVP Adrian Peterson, running back for the Minnesota Vikings!

Be the first to get your tickets to the 2008 Pro Bowl! The Pro Bowl is a match-up of players from the AFC and the NFC, and it’s the only game where the fans get to vote for who they want to see play. Though we may not know the players yet, one thing is for sure - Coast to Coast will help you find the hard-to-get tickets you want to be at Aloha Stadium to see the best of the best play.

The original Pro Bowl game, on Jan. 15, 1939, pitted the National Football League champions against a team of all-stars from the rest of the league. In 1940 and 1942, there were two games, the first in January against the previous year's champion, the second in December against the newly-crowned NFL champion. That Pro Bowl series was discontinued in 1943 -- due to the collapse of the American Football League and World War II.

In 1951, the Pro Bowl game was revived under a new format matching the all-stars of each conference at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The American Conference defeated the National Conference 28-27, January 14.

From 1954 through 1970, the teams represented the NFL's Eastern and Western Conferences. Since the merger of the American Football League into the NFL, the Pro Bowl has been played, again, by all-star teams from the American and National Football Conferences.

The game was formerly rotated among NFL stadiums, but since 1980 it has been played at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu. The Pro Bowl's Most Valuable Player Award was first presented in 1951. From 1957 through 1971, two awards were presented, to a back and a lineman, and in 1972 there awards for an offensive player and a defensive player. Since 1973, there's been a single MVP award.
