December 29th 2024.
The Arizona Bowl, formerly known simply as the Arizona Bowl, received an official upgrade in 2024 with a new presenting sponsor, Gin and Juice by Dre and Snoop. This marked the first time an alcoholic beverage was featured as a presenting sponsor for a bowl game. The event, now officially called The Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl Presented By Gin and Juice by Dre and Snoop, took place on December 28 and was met with much excitement and anticipation.
According to The Coloradoan, there used to be strict guidelines for promoting bowl games, but those restrictions were lifted in 2022, allowing for a wider range of advertising partnerships. With this new freedom, the Arizona Bowl was able to secure a multi-year sponsorship deal with Snoop Dogg, who is not only a renowned rapper but also a passionate football fan and founder of the Snoop Youth Football League (SYFL).
In a press release, Snoop expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership and his desire to bring his "juice" back to college football. He also mentioned his involvement in sending players from his SYFL to colleges, making it a natural fit for him to be involved in this bowl game. Snoop's transformation from a gangsta rap artist to a beloved elder statesman and America's favorite pitchman has made him the perfect figure to represent the Arizona Bowl.
During the game at the University of Arizona's Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Snoop was a prominent presence in all aspects of the event. He caught passes from the University of Miami at Ohio's equipment manager, stopped by a tailgate to enjoy his signature Gin and Juice drink, and even performed the coin toss. The crowd showed their love and appreciation for Snoop with roaring applause. He then joined the broadcast booth, where he called a few plays and summed up his appeal with America, stating, "I guess I'm the people's champ because I love the people as much as they love me."
At halftime, Snoop interviewed Miami's head coach Chuck Martin and led both schools' bands in performing medleys of his hit songs. He then returned to the broadcast booth for the rest of the game. After the clock hit triple zeroes, Snoop closed out the festivities by presenting the Arizona Bowl trophy to the victorious Miami football team on a makeshift stage. He arrived in a light green lowrider styled Chevy Impala with gold rims and accent trim, adding to the overall excitement of the event.
Snoop also handed out gold chains to the players and took pictures with some of them before being escorted out of the stadium by security. He took a moment to thank the fans for their warm welcome, and if the first year of their partnership is any indication, the Arizona Bowl is on track to become a must-see event for players, fans, and broadcast networks alike.
In addition to his involvement in the Arizona Bowl, Snoop was also honored at the Give Her FlowHERS Gala with his wife Shante Broadus. The couple received a surprise award for their contributions to the community and their philanthropic efforts. Snoop's involvement in the Arizona Bowl is just one example of his dedication to giving back and making a positive impact.
