The college football game was originally scheduled to be played at the Superdome Wednesday night.
The Sugar Bowl College Football Playoff quarterfinal game, set to take place at the Superdome in New Orleans Wednesday night, has been postponed following the deadly terror attack in the city earlier in the day.
New Orleans Councilman Joe Giarrusso told WVUE the game will be postponed 24 hours amid concurrent needs to increase security, investigate the attack, and ensure public safety at the high-profile game.
The Sugar Bowl Committee confirmed the decision.
The game between the University of Georgia and the University of Notre Dame had been set to kick off at 7:45 p.m. CT Wednesday night.
The Sugar Bowl Committee said in a statement earlier Wednesday that it was “devastated by the terrible events” and offered “thoughts and prayers” for the victims and their families.
