The Cherry Bowl was an annual post-season college football bowl game played in the Pontiac Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan, in 1984 and 1985. The first game, featuring the local Michigan State team, attracted about 40,000 more fans than the second game did. Unable to meet minimum payout requirements, the bowl folded after the second year. The Motor City Bowl has since replaced the Cherry Bowl as a northern dome bowl game.
