Independence Bowl Tickets

Some bowl games have undergone so many changes that it’s hard to keep up, but the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, Louisiana, has remained relatively unchanged since it was started in 1976, which not coincidentally is the bi-centennial year of the United States. That first game didn’t exactly feature a dream matchup as McNeese State took on Tulsa, but more recently the game has improved its reputation with big-time programs like Alabama, Texas A&M, Nebraska and Oklahoma all coming to Shreveport. Last year’s game featured Air Force taking down Georgia Tech in a 14-7 game, and this year’s game should again match the Mountain West Conference against the ACC. You can be there to see it happen with Independence Bowl game tickets from GoTickets.

The Independence Bowl will officially be known as the AdvoCare 100 Independence Bowl, but even if you don’t know what that means you can still count on seeing a great game. Independence Stadium has been the home of the game since it started in ’76, but the history of the stadium goes back much further. Originally called State Fair Stadium, it was built in ’25 and obviously has undergone much renovation since then. Over the years it has hosted NFL preseason games and even some Canadian Football League games, and its capacity has been increased to just over 50,000 in the most recent renovation.

The Independence Bowl might not have the same allure of the BCS National Championship Game, but it is important nonetheless and has a history of producing some exciting and high-scoring games. You can also thank the Independence Bowl for helping to introduce the now ubiquitous corporate sponsorship game to the college bowl system as it became the Poulan Weed-Eater Independence Bowl back in ’90. Of course the sponsor name has changed several times over the years, but you can still get your Independence Bowl game tickets from GoTickets no matter what they call it.
