AutoZone Liberty Bowl Returns To Memphis January 2, 2016!
Two of the nation's top football teams clash Sat., Jan. 2, 2016, at 2:20 p.m. in Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. Welcome to Memphis folks. And to the 57th AutoZone Liberty Bowl! One of college football's most historic bowl games, the Liberty Bowl pits the Big 12 against the SEC, this time around bringing in the Kansas State Wildcats and, our neighbors across the river, the Arkansas Razorbacks. It's the 19th bowl game in the history of the Big 12 Wildcats - 17 of those with legendary coach Bill Snyder leading the K-State team. This is the first appearance for the Wildcats in the Liberty Bowl, and their 7th bowl game in a row. Kansas State is 6-6 for the season. Coached by Bret Bielema, the Arkansas Razorbacks, from the SEC, are 7-5 this year and making their 5th Liberty Bowl appearance - their 41st bowl appearance in the history of the school. The Razorbacks and the Wildcats share a lot of history, having met on the field six times in the schools' history, the last time being in 2012 Cotton Bowl. (To see the stats of the meeting before that, get out your grandparents' old encyclopedias - it was 1967.) Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium is at 335 S. Hollywood, between Southern and Central. Game day general parking at the stadium begins at 8 a.m. and is $20 per car (cash only first come first served). Tickets are $55 end-zone, $70 corner, $85 sideline and $95 box seats. For tickets and information call 901-795-7700 or visit www.autozonelibertybowl.org. Tickets are also available through Ticketmaster.
