NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The 2017 New Orleans Bowl has set a Dec. 16 noon kickoff for the post-season bowl game that hosts teams from the Sun Belt Conference and Conference USA.
The game will be televised on ESPN and broadcast on ESPN Radio.
The bowl, sponsored by R+L Carriers, is in its 17th year. Executive Director Bill Ferrante tells KATC-TV (http://bit.ly/2qsayxy ) that the bowl and its affiliated events have an economic impact in the Greater New Orleans region of more than $20 million annually.
General admission tickets go on sale in early September through Ticketmaster.
Last year, Southern Mississippi beat Louisiana-Lafayette 28-21 for the bowl title.
