For obvious reasons Boycott Bowl will be held February 3, 2019.
It is a music festival that celebrates our culture and benefits New Orleans musicians, chefs, bartenders, and the entire service industry rather than the NFL. It will provide us an opportunity to do something to celebrate our team, our city, and our fans that we were wrongfully denied on January 20.
Net proceeds raised will go to The NORD Foundation to coach and equip the next generation of New Orleans champions.
