Looking to cheer on Vandy football in the ReliaQuest Bowl? Here's a few places where you can watch and have parties
Vanderbilt University’s football team has had a one of a kind season.
From their first-ever 10-win season in program history this fall to their first Heisman trophy finalist, the Commodores have had an amazing run. Although many were upset by not seeing them in the playoffs, fans still have one more opportunity to cheer them on, the ReliaQuest Bowl.
On Dec. 31 at noon ET, the Commodores will face the Iowa Hawkeyes. If you aren’t traveling to the game in Tampa, here are events and places where you can watch the bowl game around Nashville.
