Sugar Bowl between Georgia and Notre Dame postponed after deadly truck attack The College Football Playoff quarter-final at the Sugar Bowl between Georgia and Notre Dame has been postponed after a truck plowed into a New Year’s crowd about a mile away early Wednesday, killing at least 10 people.
The Superdome was on lockdown for security sweeps on Wednesday morning, when people with offices in the Superdome – including officials with the Sugar Bowl and Sun Belt Conference – were told not to come into work until further notice.
The casualties occurred when a driver rammed a pickup truck into a crowd of revelers in New Orleans’ famed French Quarter early on New Year’s Day.
The Georgia and Notre Dame football teams arrived in New Orleans on Sunday and have been staying at downtown hotels just blocks away from where the violence occurred.
A statement from the University of Georgia Athletic Association said that “all team personnel and members of the official team travel party have been accounted for.”.
