Each year, the Independence Bowl Foundation honors one of our country’s most outstanding and decorated citizens or groups with the Omar N. Bradley Spirit of Independence Award, and 2025 brings one of the award’s most decorated recipients – General (Ret.) Charles A. Flynn.

Bowl Week in Shreveport-Bossier City means more than just the bowl game – it is a celebration of college football in the community, and the annual Rally on the Red, presented by Live! Casino & Hotel and Heard, McElroy & Vestal, will headline the week of free public events leading into the big game.

The countdown to the 2025 Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl is on, as the 2025 college football season kicks off later this month, and tickets to the 49th edition of Shreveport-Bossier City’s annual bowl game are now officially on sale to the public.
