The Sugar Bowl is set to be postponed 24 hours after a terrorist attack in New Orleans’ French Quarter, according to news station WDSU.
The game, a College Football Playoff quarterfinal matchup between No. 2 Georgia and No. 7 Notre Dame, will not be played until Thursday after initially being scheduled for 8:45pm ET on New Year’s Day.
Law enforcement officials – including the FBI – are investigating the mass casualty event as a terrorist attack after ten people were killed and at least 30 were injured in the early morning hours on Wednesday.
This comes after initial reports from New Orleans police indicated that the game would go on as scheduled.
The attack comes weeks before the city is set to host Super Bowl LIX and has raised security fears leading up to that event.
