The New Era Pinstripe Bowl announced that the 2021 game will be played at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, Dec. 29 at 2:15 p.m., featuring teams from the Big Ten and ACC Conferences.
This year will mark the 11th edition of the game and the seventh consecutive New Era Pinstripe Bowl to feature competitors from the Big Ten and ACC Conferences. The 2020 game was canceled due to COVID-19 considerations.
“We are excited to welcome back college football and the pageantry of Bowl Season to Yankee Stadium in 2021,” said Mark Holtzman, Executive Director of the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. “In a little more than a decade, the New Era Pinstripe Bowl has become a fixture on the New York sports landscape and a premier destination bowl for Big Ten and ACC Conference schools. We are proud to have had a special atmosphere every year, which is a direct result of the participating schools and their alumni, the competitiveness of the matchups, and the one-of-a-kind backdrop provided by New York City during the holiday season. For both fans in attendance at Yankee Stadium and the national audience tuning in, we look forward to continuing this rousing tradition on Dec. 29.”
“We are excited to welcome college football back to Yankee Stadium this December,” said Josh Feine, New Era Cap Co. Inc., Vice President of Sports Marketing, Corporate Partnerships & Business Development. “The New Era Pinstripe Bowl is a New York City holiday tradition, and we are thrilled to once again to partner with the New York Yankees on the 11th annual edition of the game.“
