Hoboken Sugar Buzz Theme:

Cereal Bowl Stadium and Alpha Blitz Stadium[]

In 1999, the Sugar Buzz stadium name was simply Cereal Bowl Stadium. From 2000 to 2003, it became Alpha Blitz Stadium. Despite stadium name changes, they all looked the same across Madden games from 1999 to 2003. The capacity of the stadium is 0. The surface of the stadium is Milk. In the PS2 version of the stadium from 2000 to 2003, there is a decoder on one side of the stadium which on numerous occasions causes the camera to be behind or just inside the decoder when on a CPU vs CPU game.

Trivia[]

Their stadium is simply a cereal bowl with spoon, milk and cereal.
They are hyperactive players and sometimes get too hyper.
The name Sugar Buzz probably refers to Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken but has nothing to do with the stadium.
To unlock the Sugar Buzz in Madden 2004 on the Gamecube and only Gamecube, it requires a connection with the GameBoy Advance.
At the end of the stadium, there is a cereal box that is labeled Shiner Cereal which references the Marshalls. The Cereal states that there is a Sugar Buzz item inside while it states "The Cereal that packs a Punch"
The PS2 version of the Alpha Blitz Stadium has a decoder while the other versions do not have the decoder. The decoder usually refers to the "A Christmas Story" decoder but the connection between the two are minimal.
In Madden NFL 2000, the cereal box says "CHUM" instead of "Shiner Cereal." This is a joke since chum is another way of saying bait.
The Hoboken Sugar Buzz stadium and team is also shown in NCAA Football 2002 but no other NCAA game afterwards.
In the N64 and PS1 versions, the stadium features a red submarine named the SS Chumley.
From Madden NFL 2000 - Madden NFL 2001 and NCAA Football 2002, the endzone color was blue with the Sugar Buzz font lettering. From Madden NFL 2002, the endzone was made the same as the field surface and logos used were the NFL logo and the team logo. From Madden NFL 2003 - Madden NFL 2004, only the team's logo was used for the endzone.
Their theme can be heard in PS1 and PC versions of Madden games between 1999 and 2003 but not the Gamecube, Xbox, PS2, or N64 versions.
In Madden NFL 2001's PC Version, their PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube models were combined with the stadium setting from Madden NFL 2000.
The Cereal Bowl Stadium in Madden NFL 2000 has different endzone art than what is shown in the actual gameplay. This probably was an early design of the Sugar Buzz endzone art. The stadium preview image in the game has different endzone art instead of the final endzone art which features the logo on a blue endzone background with white electric lining and the lettering being dark blue with white outlining set atop the white electric lining.
The Madden card cover for the Hoboken Sugar Buzz in the 6th gen consoles shows the old PS1 design of Alpha Blitz Stadium, aka Cereal Bowl Stadium.
In Madden NFL 2004's GameCube version, the Sugar Buzz stadium when in select stadium shows the hair part of the Sugar Buzz logo in grey instead of orange.
