When is the Alamo Bowl in 2024? Tickets, venue, key players to watch and more
The No. 17 BYU Cougars will face the No. 23 Colorado Buffaloes in the upcoming Valero Alamo Bowl. The game is on Dec. 28 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. Fans can buy tickets for standard admission on Ticketmaster.
The lowest ticket price available for purchase is $85. Most of the standard admission seats are in the upper bowl of the Alamodome. One of the highest prices for resale tickets is $1,000, which is seated close to the field.
Last year, the Arizona Wildcats defeated the Oklahoma Sooners 38-24 on Dec. 28, 2023, to win the Alamo Bowl trophy. BYU (10-2, 7-2 Big 12) and Colorado (9-3, 7-2) will try to have their best performance of the season to win the annual bowl game.
Both teams are coming into the matchup after winning their last game of the regular schedule. BYU had a dominant 30-18 victory over the Houston Cougars (4-8, 3-6) in Week 14 on Nov. 30. Quarterback Jake Retzlaff led his team to victory by ending the game with nine carries for 57 yards and two touchdowns. Although BYU is coming off a commanding performance, Colorado had a more dominant win against the Oklahoma State Cowboys (3-9, 0-9) on Nov. 29.
The Buffaloes didn't give up a point to the Cowboys in their 52-0 victory. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders finished his final home game at Boulder, Colorado, completing 34 of 41 passes for 438 yards and five touchdowns.
Both quarterbacks could be essential to the team's chances of winning. However, other players may play a bigger role.
2024 Valero Alamo Bowl: Key players to watch in BYU vs. Colorado game
One of the key players for Colorado in the bowl game is cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter. The Heisman Trophy candidate has shown to be a threat on offense and defense.
He ended the game against Oklahoma State with ten receptions for 116 yards and three touchdowns. On defense, Hunter caught an interception and had one tackle. Sanders will try to target Hunter to outscore BYU.
The Cougars cornerback Jakob Robinson may play a significant role in the team's hopes of stopping Hunter on offense. Robinson has three interceptions this season, the most for his position on the team. He'll need to play at his best to keep Sanders from passing to his best receiver.
