Sugar Bowl to Host Florida State and LSU
for Allstate Louisiana Kickoff
Caesars Superdome | September 4, 2022
The Allstate Sugar Bowl, in partnership with Allstate and the Louisiana Office of Tourism, will serve as the host to LSU and Florida State when the teams meet for the Allstate Louisiana Kickoff to open the 2022 college football season over Labor Day weekend (Sunday, September 4) in the Caesars Superdome.
The game will be televised nationally by ABC and is scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. kickoff. "We're pleased to have an exclusive window on ABC for the telecast of the Allstate Louisiana Kickoff," said Jeff Hundley, the chief executive officer of the Sugar Bowl. "We feel confident that the game will be a sellout and we're happy to showcase New Orleans and Louisiana to millions of college football fans as we celebrate the start of another great season." With Labor Day Weekend being a traditionally busy weekend in New Orleans, the Sugar Bowl has established arrangements with a wide-range of local hotels to ensure fans attending the Allstate Louisiana Kickoff have the opportunity to book rooms at discounted rates. Ticket sales are being handled directly by the schools according to their own priority systems. The Allstate Sugar Bowl will NOT be selling public tickets to the Allstate Louisiana Kickoff
We're thrilled to be able to bring a regular-season game of this magnitude to New Orleans.
