The Allstate Sugar Bowl game between Notre Dame and Georgia has been postponed following an attack in New Orleans where a car plowed into a crowd killing at least 10 and injuring dozens, according to the parish district attorney.
The game, which was scheduled for Wednesday, will now take place on Thursday at 8:45 p.m. ET (7:45 p.m. CT), according to Jason Williams, the district attorney of Orleans Parish, who just spoke with MSNBC. Williams had just left a meeting with local law enforcement officials.
The game is scheduled to be played at the Caesars Superdome, a short distance from the attack in the French Quarter at Bourbon and Canal streets.
New Orleans NBC affiliate WDSU was one of the first to report the postponement.
Earlier Wednesday, prior to the news of the postponement, the Sugar Bowl Committee released a statement reading,” The Sugar Bowl Committee is devastated by the terrible events from early this morning. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. We are in ongoing discussions with authorities on the local, state and federal levels and will communicate further details as they become available.”
