To help chronicle 50 years of the Independence Bowl, Louisiana artist Craig Routh was commissioned to produce a commemorative fine art painting featuring some of the great games, moments, players and coaches in Independence Bowl history and limited-edition prints of the painting are now on sale.

Number 17 on the Independence Bowl’s 50th Anniversary All-Time Team, Syracuse running back Joe Morris, has spent 46 years in the Independence Bowl’s record book as one of the game’s leading rushers. 

The Independence Bowl Foundation and Great Raft Brewing have produced a special “Independence Pale Lager” to help commemorate the Independence Bowl’s 50th Anniversary. Named “Bowl Day Brew,” this pale lager is being distributed by the Independence Bowl’s beverage partner, Eagle Distributing.
