Texas Bowl
A celebration of the culture, heritage and football tradition of the Lone Star State.
The Texas Bowl is a proprietary event for LSSE and in only its 2nd year has helped put the city of Houston back on the map in the collegiate bowl community.
LSSE has hosted two back-to-back record-breaking bowl crowds in Reliant Stadium (52,210 and 62,097) which has helped generate nearly $50mm in economic impact for the community.
The Texas Bowl has also donated $120,000 to DePelchin Children’s Center, the national charity partner of the bowl.
