Eddie Timanus, USA TODAY December 19, 2024 at 6:09 AM The slow rollout of college football bowl season continues Thursday with just a single offering in the Big Easy.
In its heyday as a major college or Division I neutral-site contest (1948–1995), the Oyster Bowl served as Norfolk's counterpart to the Tobacco Bowl in Richmond, Virginia (1949–1982), and the short-lived Harvest Bowl in Roanoke, Virginia (1958–1969), which were also regular season neutral-site games.

A 46,000-square-foot (4,300 m 2) special events center was added to the Civic Center in 2007; it is used for trade shows, meetings, conventions and other special events. It can hold up to 3,066 seated, 5,850 standing.
