Independence Bowl Tickets-History of the Independence Bowl 

 In 1975, the board of directors of the Shreveport-Bossier City Sports Foundation agreed that it was time to bring a post season football game to northwest Louisiana. On December 13, 1976 the first Independence Bowl was fought out by McNeese State and Tulsa, the National Collegiate Athletic Association rewarding Shreveport-Bossier City with its certification. Honoring the 200th birthday of the U.S. and backed by the military presence in this area, the Independence Bowl was born, a fitting tribute to the soldiers who fought for this nation's freedom. During its first 5 years, the Independence Bowl worked closely with the SLC (Southland Conference) who provided the host team for the event.

In 1981, the Directors of the bowl ended their agreement with the SLC, which provided them the opportunity to scour the country for the best teams available in the NCAA Division I-A ranks. In 1995 the Poulan/Weed Eater Independence Bowl changed hands again, signing a three-year agreement with the Southeastern Conference for the fifth selection out of one of the nation’s premier football conferences.

The Independence Bowl has a great history of sponsoring close matches adding the joy and excitement you would expect from any bowl game. These tickets sell fast so grab up your Independence Bowl tickets today!
