The Sugar Bowl has made the decision to move forward the start time for the previously postponed bowl game to Thursday at 4 p.m. ET in response to the tragic attack that occurred in New Orleans on Wednesday. The College Football Playoff quarterfinal game between the University of Georgia and the University of Notre Dame, scheduled to take place in New Orleans, will now kick off at 4 p.m. ET on Thursday at Caesars Superdome, as announced by the Sugar Bowl.
In a statement released by the Sugar Bowl, it was explained that the adjustment in the game schedule was deemed necessary due to the current engagement of law enforcement assets in active investigations related to the recent incident. By postponing the game to Thursday afternoon, additional security resources can be allocated to ensure the safety and security standards expected for a major event at the Caesars Superdome are met.
