No parking options. You can not even pay to park at the Sun bowl you either had to buy a parking ticket in ADvance or just happen to get lucky. We had topark Far away from the event even though there were several Lots close to the event hat were near empty
Even though it was freezing, it was one of the most memorable games ever!!!
Pros: The game was fantastic! Cons: The preparation for the event seemed nonexistent. Parking was "find it on your own". Road construction throughout the areas surrounding the stadium eliminating a lot of parking space. Police force was not visible. Crowd control was lax to say the least. Getting into the stadium was a nightmare with people pushing, yelling, and cutting line with no security or police. Alcohol consumption was very high, both in the stadium and at tailgate parties.
Norte Dame vs Miami game at the Sun Bowl was excellant. Unsually cold for El Paso but perfect football weather. ND was was awesome. The fanfest was fun. Will attend again!
This was my first bowl experience and it was wonderful. Anybody into college football needs to go to a bowl game. The Sun Bowl is great.
Might not have been the "SUN" bowl, but sure was the "FUN" bowl..Had great fun, nice cold weather for football in El Paso. People were great, had a great time. The Golden Knights flew in with each teams flag and the game ball. was great.Thanks.
Used the handicapped parking. Travel from lot to stadium was smooth and efficient. Travel into stadium was easy and efficient. Only negative, several tables/concessions set up in front of line to restroom, so made handicap accessibility very difficult.
Freezing cold couldn't stop the good times!! Friendly environment, intimate venue, and great pre game festivities with the Army skydivers. The only thing I would recommend is better selection at the concession stands especially if cold weather again(coffee, chili, etc. )
Seats were excellent. Guaranteed parking paid in advance was convenient. Weather was cold but out of anyone's control. University of Miami players played terrible, probably cold...Intend on attending again next year!
Experiencing ND game in Sun Bowl was great... Have been following ND football for 40+ years and this was the third ND game I have been able to attend. Weather was pure "football weather" and did in the Hurricanes from So. Florida. Tommy Rees, Michael Floyd and the Irish defense did not disappoint. Looking forward to trying to get to more ND football games in the near future.
Overall the game was great! Our seats were awesome. I honestly don't think that there is a bad seat in the stadium. We will definitely be going again next year.
Fantastic game! Let's Go Irish. The cold weather and snow was prefect football weather.
Great venue. Fun time and the people of El Paso are friendly making all feel welcome!
Even though it was extremely cold and the stadium seats had a half inch slab of ice on them when we arrived, it was worth every cent to watch the Irish renew their rivalry with Miami!! The Notre Dame win made it all the more superb. The seats provided a great view of all the action. The Sun Bowl needs to provide a lot more bathroom facilities. With the extreme cold, wine would have been a better choice than the cold beer that was sold. Also, there was no hot coffee or hot chocolate by the third quarter.
While it was unusually cold with no sight of the sun all day, we enjoyed the game; we are fighting irish fans so we we were all smiles the whole game.
The atmosphere was fabulous. What more could you ask for but 34 degree weather and football on New Year's Eve? And then you have two storied college programs battling it out, and you get an unforgettable experience!
Big Problem with entering the stadium. We had to wait at least 30 minutes to get in because the the system was way toooo slow. The Sun Bowl people knew it was a sold out crowd and should have planned better. We planned to get there to see the pre-game events and barely got to see the kick-off. Bathroom trash containers need to be cleaned and/or replaced at half time. The paper on the floor was everywhere and it was unnecessary. Also other trash containers in the stadium needed to be cleaned out after half time. Game was great.
Enjoyed the game and beautiful setting. Coordination of programs such as halftime and timeouts were also good. However, the Sun Bowl facility itself needs to be upgraded. Entry, exit and fan flow areas were very congested, on the verge of being unsafe. Rest room facilities and concessions were also inadequate.
