A moment of silence will be observed before the start of the Sugar Bowl in honor of the victims of the recent New Orleans attack, as confirmed by a spokesperson for the Sugar Bowl in a statement to CNN. The solemn moment is scheduled to take place prior to the rendition of the national anthem.
The Sugar Bowl, which will feature a matchup between Georgia and Notre Dame, serves as the culminating game of the College Football Playoff quarterfinals. The highly anticipated game is set to kick off at 4 p.m. Eastern Time at the iconic Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
