2016 Fiesta Bowl Preview: ND vs. Ohio State

The When/Where/What Time/Etc.: The 45th Annual Fiesta Bowl will kick off at 1 p.m. ET (11 a.m. local time) on New Year’s Day at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The game will air on ESPN.

This year’s title sponsor is BattleFrog, which sadly has nothing to do with the impossible-to-beat-Ninja-Tutles-knockoff NES series, Battletoads. Nevertheless, BattleFrog is still pretty cool: it’s a Florida-based company that makes obstacle courses. With all the teams have to do to get to Glendale, it’s an appropriate sponsor.

The stadium’s capacity is 63,400, but is expandable.
