The Star Spangled Banner and the opening kickoff at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, TX had one thing in common. Both spectacles to launch the 2022 Frisco Bowl were accompanied by an unfathomable amount of fireworks. They soared into the air and lit up the sky for seemingly minutes at a time. It looked like the gopher scene from the movie Caddyshack accompanied by the War of 1812 Overture.
The fireworks show resumed postgame when the trophy was bestowed upon the champion. But prior to the festivities, a figurative fireworks show erupted in the third quarter of the football game.
