2010 Hyundai Sun Bowl Credential Requests

There is a new system in place for requesting credentials for the 2010 Hyundai Sun Bowl. With the help of our new credentialing system partners, you can apply for everyone on your staff all at once.

You can apply by going to Sports Systems at www.sportssystems.com/sunbowl/.

Please fill out the necessary information. Remember that this is NOT a UTEP event, so your UTEP credentials will not get you into the Hyundai Sun Bowl.

TV STATIONS:

Only your satellite truck can park in the Upper South Parking lot adjacent to the South end of Sun Bowl Stadium. There will be no television station automobiles allowed in this area. Your automobiles can park in the Sun Bowl Parking Garage (Level 5). Any TV station that has an automobile in the Upper South Parking lot will be towed. No Exceptions.

Please note that if you are doing a live remote from the stadium, all cabling in pedestrian traffic areas must be secured in order to avoid tripping hazards. There are no live remotes at field level. The pedestrian traffic is too high. If you need a suitable area to set up, please contact Trenten Hilburn at 915-533-4416 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

PARKING:

Primary media parking will be the Sun Bowl Parking Garage (Level 5). It is the roof of the garage with easy access to the stadium. A limited number of media members will be allowed access to park on Sun Bowl Drive and Dawson Road. ONLY satellite trucks may park in the Upper South lot. There is NO television truck parking in the Press Box lot.

PRESS BOX SEATING:

The Sun Bowl Stadium Press Box was built in 1963 and has limited seating. Media will be seated according to priority. All overflow media will be given field level credentials, unless you ask for overflow seating in the stadium.

INTERNET & PHONES:

For the sixth straight year, both the press box and the photo trailer will have active wireless internet available to the media. If you need your own phone line, please request it and also download the PDF application from AT&T. There will be five phone lines available in the work room of the Sun Bowl Press Box.

PLEASE NOTE: No live blogging will be allowed. You may blog randomly during the event, but you may not blog the actual play-by-play. Any violation of this policy will result in loss of your internet privileges or removal from the premises.

LUNCH:

Lunch will be served to the media in the press box. Those working at field level that do not wish to eat in the press box can get a box lunch in the South Tunnel at field level.
