Fiesta Bowl XXV: Nebraska Cornhuskers Versus Florida Gators: This season's not-so-mythical national collegiate football championship will be decided on the field at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe. The game starts at 6 p.m. Tuesday, but it's sold out, so those without tickets will need to utilize creative financing. The match is televised nationally by CBS, and airs locally on KPHO, Channel 5. An official tailgate party, featuring entertainment, pep rallies, memorabilia displays and a big-screen simulcast of the game, precedes at noon on Rio Salado Parkway, north of the stadium, and continues until game's end; tickets are $20, available at Dillard's (call 678-2222). For general information, call 350-0900.
