NEW ORLEANS (press release) – Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation/R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl officials announced today the 20th R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl will kickoff on Wednesday, Dec. 23, 2020, at 2:30pm CST at the iconic Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The game will be nationally and internationally broadcast on ESPN and ESPN Radio. This year’s game marks the 20th anniversary of the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.

“The 20th R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl will certainly look different than years past, but we are thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase New Orleans and the State of Louisiana to a worldwide audience,” Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation Senior Vice President/R+L Carriers Bowl Executive Director Billy Ferrante said. “On behalf of our Bowl Chairman Paul Valteau, Jr. and our entire Bowl Committee, I want to thank the State of Louisiana, the City of New Orleans, Conference USA and the Sun Belt Conference for their continued cooperation and partnership throughout this highly unusual year. Without their commitment this year’s game would not be possible.”

Fan attendance for the game has yet to be determined. The Sports Foundation/R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl committee and staff has been working closely with officials from the State of Louisiana, City of New Orleans, the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and Tulane School of Medicine to determine the safety protocols for all participants and affiliates. Should fans be allowed inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, tickets will be made available through TicketMaster and the New Orleans Bowl office at (504) 525-5678.

Now in its 20th year, the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl creates significant economic impact and international media exposure for the State of Louisiana and Greater New Orleans region. The bowl and its surrounding events has generated an estimated economic impact of $20 million annually, as well as supported numerous area youth and at-risk programs throughout the region.
