FIESTA BOWL LAUNCHES REDESIGNED WEBSITE
Scottsdale, Ariz. – The Fiesta Bowl
announced today that it has launched a new, state-of-the-art website to
serve as the official home for the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, Insight Bowl
and Festival of College Football.
The site, which was created as the ultimate resource for both
college football fans and Arizona residents, features the most up to
date information on the Valley’s bowl games and Festival of more than 40
annual events. Other aspects include a concierge service, which
allows those coming to Arizona for the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and Insight
Bowl to ask travel related questions, fan forums, videos and pictures
galleries.
“While the Fiesta Bowl is honored to be a member of the
college football community, we also take great pride in servicing the
state of Arizona,” said Chairman of the Board Dave Tilson. “That
is why our goal in building this new website was not only to create an
internet haven for college football fans, but also a site that is
reflective of our Valley traditions.”
The site was developed by Tempe, AZ based Sitewire Marketplace
Solutions, LLC., and will feature additional components in the near
future, including an online auction, merchandise and pictures stores.
