Free Events and Entertainment for Championship Game in NOLA

For the first time ever, the 2020 CPF National Championship Game will be held in New Orleans, which basically makes this a home game for the LSU Tigers, who will be taking on #3 Clemson for the title. The festivities leading up to the game at 7:00 pm on Monday, January 13th include tailgating, fan events, interactive activities, and lots of free entertainment. So if you're going to the game at the Superdome, or you just want to show up and support your team, there's lots to do this weekend in the Big Easy. We're excited to see that some of our favorite Louisiana performers will be on hand for the fun. Tim McGraw will perform on Monday, and Lafayette's own Lauren Daigle will sing the National Anthem before the game on Monday night.

Some of the events are listed below, with locations, and unless otherwise noted, are free. The free concerts will take place in Woldenberg Park at AT&T Playoff Playlist Live! on Jan. 11and 12 and the Capital One Stage at Allstate Championship Tailgate Plaza on Jan. 13.
