Opening Kickoff Welcome to December, where it’s Holiday Season and it’s Bowl Season! We are excited for our PlayStation® Fiesta Bowl and Guaranteed Rate Bowl matchups, teams that have never played each other before, in Oklahoma State/Notre Dame and West Virginia/ Minnesota. There are so many aspects that make Bowl Season special. One is having two teams compete when they otherwise have not. It was the same last year when Iowa State played Oregon and in 2019 when LSU and UCF squared off at the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl, and when Washington State faced Air Force in 2019 and TCU took on Cal in Downtown Phoenix.
FIESTA BOWL
We are grateful to welcome our fans back into the stadiums, to experience all the aspects that make college football so unique, and to once again share our renowned hospitality to the teams, alumni, fans and partners.
ORGAN I Z AT I O N N E WS L E T T ER
With a theme that honors the Fiesta Bowl’s 50th Anniversary, “Gold Standard: Commitment to CommUNITY,” our Grand Marshals are community champions. The Fiesta Bowl’s nine Founders and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Alice Cooper, who is known for his legendary stage presence and also for his community service through his Solid Rock Teen Centers.
Coming soon is the return of the Desert Financial Fiesta Bowl Parade, this time with Lerner and Rowe joining in as presenting partner. We say soon because it’s two weeks earlier than normal, with its own spotlight on Saturday, December 18, at 10 am.
Let’s Fiesta this Holiday Season and Bowl Season! Thank you for being a part of it all.
