Soccer historian and sportswriter (and native Mobile) Ivan Maisel will moderate the panel, and comedian/impressionist Joey Mulinaro will appear.
Friday night features the Senior Bowl Street Party and Players Mardi Gras Parade, during which players, college mascots, NFL cheerleaders and local high school marching bands will parade down Royal Street past Bienville Square to toss Senior Bowl trinkets and interact with fans. The night culminates with a free concert by Grammy-winning hip-hop artist Nelly at Mardi Gras Park.
Saturday is game day, with pregame festivities including a performance by Southern University’s Human Jukebox marching band, which will also perform at halftime.
