The Sugar Bowl, which was set for Wednesday night at the Superdome in New Orleans, has been postponed until Thursday following the deadly terror attack on the city’s famed Bourbon Street which left 15 people dead and dozens others injured.
ESPN’s Laura Rutledge said that, according to the coach of the Georgia Bulldogs, the college team is “sheltering in place” in their hotel as police continued to search the French Quarter.
The game will see Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish taking on the University of Georgia team.

Sugar Bowl CEO Jeff Hundley said at a news conference on Wednesday that the game will now take place at Thursday at 8:45 p.m. ET.
Security camera footage captured the moment suspected terrorist Shamsud Din Jabbar barreled down a packed Bourbon Street in New Orleans on New Year’s Day, killing at least 10 people and injuring 35 others.
The footage obtained by Fox 8 New Orleans shows Jabbar’s white pickup truck with Texas plates and an ISIS flag inching through Canal Street traffic before taking a sharp turn down Bourbon Street.
