Snoop’s Game: Snoop Dogg Steals the Show at His Own Arizona Bowl
Dec
In a game where Miami of Ohio defeated Colorado State 43-17 in the Arizona Bowl, the main attraction wasn’t the football—it was the bowl’s celebrity namesake, Snoop Dogg.
Snoop Takes Center Stage
From the moment Snoop Dogg stepped onto the field at Arizona Stadium, it was clear that this wasn’t just a football game; it was a full-blown Snoop experience. Decked out in a green-and-gold Arizona Bowl sweatsuit, sunglasses, custom sneakers, and a signature Gin & Juice hat, Snoop’s presence electrified the crowd.
Snoop’s influence was everywhere, from the coin toss, which he executed with flair, to his stint calling plays from the Colorado State sideline. He even participated in the halftime show, climbing onto a bandstand to lead a medley of his hits while both schools’ marching bands played along.
A Bowl Like No Other
The Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl presented by Gin & Juice by Dre and Snoop was a spectacle filled with unique touches. The field featured a mural of a black low-rider against a desert backdrop, and the end zones boasted Snoop’s logo. Before kickoff, Snoop mingled with fans at a tailgate, sharing sips of gin and juice, and caught passes during warmups.
“This is a seven-day-a-week thing with me, man,” Snoop remarked during the game broadcast. “I guess I’m the people’s champ because I love the people as much as they love me.”
The Halftime and Postgame Spectacle
Halftime was a highlight, with Snoop Dogg leading the band and grooving to his own tunes. After the game, Snoop took his star power to the next level, rolling onto the field in a mint green, lowrider Chevy Impala with gold rims. Holding the Arizona Bowl trophy, he handed out custom gold chains to the Miami players and posed for photos with the team.
“Thank you, Tucson,” Snoop said as the night wrapped up. “Thank you for welcoming me.”
More Than Just a Game
The Arizona Bowl wasn’t just about football; it was about creating a memorable cultural event. Players benefited from Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities, while fans were treated to a one-of-a-kind atmosphere. Miami of Ohio coach Chuck Martin summed it up: “What an amazing experience.”
Snoop Dogg’s involvement elevated the Arizona Bowl into a unique blend of sports, music, and entertainment, leaving fans—and Tucson—with memories they won’t soon forget.
