One of the biggest pre-draft events just got even bigger.
The Senior Bowl will have a new home in 2021. One of the most fun and accessible predraft events will be moving it’s weekly festivities and nationally televised game from Ladd-Peebles Stadium to Hancock Whitney Stadium, South Alabama’s brand new state-of-the-art facility.
Clarence Hill, Jr. was on it first.
Angus R. Cooper II, Chairman and President of the Senior Bowl Board of Trustees announced the decision:
“We are excited to host the Reese’s Senior Bowl at the University of South Alabama’s Hancock Whitney Stadium.,” said University of South Alabama Director of Athletics Director Joel Erdmann. “This historic game will provide an opportunity for people from all over the country to visit our beautiful campus and enjoy a great day of college football. South Alabama football season ticket holders will have a window of opportunity to secure their seats and parking for the Senior Bowl. Details concerning that process will be released in the near future.”
“We owe it to our community and players to host the nation’s premier college football all-star game in the region’s most advanced stadium and this transition to Hancock Whitney Stadium will best ensure our game resides in Mobile, Alabama for decades to come,” Reese’s Senior Bowl Executive Director Jim Nagy said.
The 2021 Reese’s Senior Bowl will be played January 30, 2021, and televised nationally on the NFL Network. Further updates regarding game tickets will be released in the near future on the Senior Bowl’s website.
