What is the Sugar Bowl?
Held amidst the liveliness of the city, New Orleans' Sugar Bowl is an annual collegiate football event that features two successful teams who conclude their season as high-ranked teams. This year, the University of Georgia will face off against either Tulane University or the University of Mississippi, who will be playing against each other on December 20.
This year's Allstate Sugar Bowl will be held in the Caesars Superdome on January 1 at 7 p.m..
The event draws on the excitement of the holiday season, channeling that energy into hosting a competitive and enjoyed athletic tradition.
