R+L Carriers Renews Title Sponsorship With New Orleans Bowl Through '21

R+L Carriers has "renewed its partnership with the New Orleans Bowl, maintaining its role as title sponsor of the annual bowl game" through '21, according to the New Orleans TIMES-PICAYUNE. R+L Carriers has "served as title sponsor of the New Orleans Bowl" since '05. The game is "played in Mercedes-Benz Superdome and features a matchup between teams from the Sun Belt Conference and Conference USA." This year's game is played Saturday night, featuring Southern Miss and Louisiana-Lafayette (New Orleans TIMES-PICAYUNE, 12/16). New Orleans Bowl Exec Dir Billy Ferrante "estimated Wednesday that 'probably somewhere over 30-something thousand' tickets for Saturday's game have been distributed." Ferrante: "But that’s a number that climbs by the minute.” Ferrante added it "might be a little optimistic, but we’re still hopeful” for a crowd of more than 40,000. Louisiana-Lafayette has "drawn more than 34,000 for each of its prior four New Orleans Bowl appearances" (HATTIESBURG AMERICAN, 12/16).
