About the Wyndham New Orleans Bowl
The Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation announced that the 5th Annual New Orleans Bowl, the first game of the 2005 college bowl season, will be held December 20th in Lafayette, LA at Cajun Field. The change of venue, prompted by hurricane damages to the Louisiana Superdome, was facilitated by a group effort between the GNOSF, the New Orleans Bowl Committee, the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce, the Lafayette Convention & Visitors Commission, and the University of Louisiana Lafayette.
Come to the Crescent City to see one of the newest NCAA College Football Bowl Game - the Wyndham New Orleans Bowl! The Wyndham New Orleans Bowl is the first game of the college bowl "season", and pits the champion of the Sun Belt Conference vs. a mutually agreed upon team from the Conference USA.
The annual showdown will be played at the world-class Cajun Field, with this year's game set for Tuesday, December 20 at 7:00PM (CST). ESPN2 will carry the live broadcast as well as a tape delayed broadcast in 79 Million homes. The inaugural New Orleans Bowl in 2001, was rated the third highest viewed bowl game in ESPN2 history.
