Senior Bowl moving out of Ladd-Peebles Stadium to new South Alabama stadium for 2021
One of the biggest pre-NFL 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 new state-of-the-art facility.
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 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.”
