The NFL’s all-star game, the Pro Bowl, has a new home. After years in Hawaii, short stints in Super Bowl cities and then Orlando, it is headed to Vegas.
The league announced on Tuesday that next season’s Pro Bowl will be played at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas, which opens this season to house the Las Vegas Raiders.
From the league’s press release:
The 2021 Pro Bowl will continue to be a weeklong celebration of football, and will feature various activities in Las Vegas including the NFL FLAG Championship games, AFC and NFC team practices and for the fifth consecutive year, Pro Bowl Skills Showdown, where the NFL’s biggest stars from each conference compete in unique tests of their skills.
Players selected will have some fun, as Vegas is always a party.
Which Arizona Cardinals will be there? It was Budda Baker and Chandler Jones last year. DeAndre Hopkins, Patrick Peterson, Kyler Murray and Kenyan Drake should all be in the mix next season.
