After a successful inaugural bowl week in 2014 that was capped off with one of the most incredible comebacks and final plays in bowl game history, the second Popeyes Bahamas Bowl will kick off Thursday, Dec. 24, 2015 at Nassau?s Thomas A. Robinson National Stadium.

The Bahamas slogan is ?It?s Better in the Bahamas,? and bowl week in Nassau is just that with a mix of sun, sand and football in one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in the world.

The bowl has been strengthened going forward as ESPN Events announced the acquisition of the game May 12, 2015. The addition of the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl makes the game a part of an impressive stable of events in football and basketball for ESPN Events.

?We are excited to be adding the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl to our portfolio of events,? said Pete Derzis, senior vice president, ESPN Events. ?The inaugural game was a tremendous success, and we hope to build on that by bringing a one-of-a-kind bowl experience for our student-athletes, coaches and fans. The level of support from the entire country of the Bahamas makes this event truly unique ? making this game a true destination event that fans across the country will want to attend and support.?
