(Miami, Florida)— Offense-Defense Sports and the City of Miami will be commemorating the final football game at the Historic Orange Bowl Stadium, the Offense-Defense All American Bowl, on January 4th, 2008. Gates open at 5:00 pm. The game will be televised nationally on Fox College Sports (check local listings for television channel).

Eighty-eight of the finest high school football players from across the United States will be divided into East and West squads, both coached by a cadre of the most qualified personnel available including legendary ex-NFL wide receiver and current HBO football analyst Cris Carter. The All-American Bowl will be the final football game ever played at Orange Bowl Stadium before the historic building is demolished.

Festivities surrounding the game include: a pre-game show featuring Gospel Artist Apostle Cash starting at 6:30 pm, Miss America 2007 Lauren Nelson singing the National Anthem, and a half-time show featuring country music artist Candy Colburn. Finally, as the clock counts down to 0:00, a fireworks display will fill the sky, courtesy of the City of Miami.
