“We are proud to announce that the 2021 Cricket Celebration Bowl in Atlanta has officially sold out,” Celebration Bowl Executive Director John Grant said in a statement on Monday afternoon. “Due to the high demand for tickets, we will release 1,000 standing room only tickets on Wednesday, Dec 15 at Noon, priced at $40. Once those tickets are sold, no other tickets will be available.”

This news comes just over a week after it was announced that the bottom level of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium was sold out.

The game will be played at that venue for the third time in its young history as SWAC champion Jackson State takes on MEAC champion South Carolina State. It has a seating capacity of 74,295 fans. That’s a far cry from the first game in the dome, back in 2018, when attendance was listed at 25,873 as Grambling State took on North Carolina A&T.

These cats are breaking into and stealing cars around here viciously and I know they preppin for yall to hit the city. You've been warned.
 

Don't let Jackson State football's ugly Celebration Bowl loss overshadow historic season​

ATLANTA — What was supposed to be Jackson State football's coronation as the kings of HBCU football turned into a stunning defeat at the hands of a team that barely scraped together a winning season.
The Atlanta return of Deion Sanders, who wore No. 21 for the Falcons ended in a 21 point loss, the worst loss ever suffered in Celebration Bowl history.

Which begs the question: How did this happen? How did Jackson State (11-2), with all its Power-Five transfers, bolstered by a top-60 recruiting class in the nation, and fresh off of signing the No. 1 recruit in the country, allow South Carolina State (7-5) to spoil Sanders' homecoming, 31-10?

"South Carolina State kicked our butts," Sanders said. "Every way, every fashion. Outphysicaled us. Out threw us. Much more disciplined than us. And I feel like we were overconfident, and overlooked them as if they were just going to hand us the game."
Make no mistake, Sanders did not have his team prepared. Jackson State's run-game woes surfaced again. And the defense gave up 31 points for the first time this season.

But the takeaway from Saturday's smackdown shouldn't be about the Tigers coming up short in the biggest game of the year.
It should be that a Celebration Bowl-record 48,653 fans packed into Mercedes-Benz Stadium to see a pair of teams play that had never made it to the de facto HBCU championship.

I love this because coach prime is creating expectations that 62 to 15 score we put on A&M should be representative of the dominance we continue on a consistent basis. I hear it, Coach prime got that players chip on his shoulder…. He’s translating to coaching … South Carolina state embarrassed him and Coach prime hates to be showed up on the bright lights. He came out and owned his teams butt kicking and I’m sure he has that tape on replay every single day like a mad scientist seeing where we need to sure up, take to another level, and even coach better. Get out of JSU’s way in 2022, the champs have a chip on their shoulder.

Coach Prime understands the mission.

Too many are satisfied with just winning and not dominating. Some don't understand why some of us still bitch and moan after a victory. We see through the bullshit of skating by and luckily getting a W vs dominating an opponent day in and day out.

See the PV vs BCU game for reference.

Yessir a man on a mission. Im sure this next recruiting class is going to be ridiculous. He gave out his formula because even if others do use it the talent level won't be the same. JSU 2022 is going to be a scary team. We are already 1 year ahead of schedule.

As I said earlier, that loss in the Celebration Bowl with that much exposure was the best thing to happen to Coach and the team!

Definitely great exposure for J-State, but all that humiliating loss did was expose Prime’s coaching deficiencies. He better load up talent as it is an equalizer to his questionable coaching decisions.

However, to be outscored 31-3 with 80 years of NFL experience coaching experience on the sideline is symbolic as the game will be remembered actually for what it was. That is the worst loss in Celebration Bowl history coupled with fact that J-State was favored by 10.5 points (against the one leg MEAC conference and weakest MEAC champion sent to ATL).

The irony is that J-State team was likely the weakest SWAC champion in the CB too. That team certainly would not have beaten any Grambling squad and I doubt Alcorn’s last squad sent.

Do you realize the burning sensation and the sting that loss presents for this team? No human in their right mind can allow that to EVER happen again. There's a goal now with unfinished business being the target of acquisition! Not only for the coaching staff but especially for the players. They will rebound and they will shore up those coaching deficiencies you mentioned. Personally, if Sheduer doesn't fumble or throw those 2 interceptions, we win that game easily forcing SC State to drive the entire field.

Celebration Bowl history...6 years.
Lost by 1 more point than Alcorn in 2019. How humiliating.

What's really humiliating is what happened to the one SWAC coach who won the CB.

Neither of your remedial teams could hold a candle to this one. Coach Prime definitely showed his coaching deficiencies when he ran through the entire Swac. Y'all took 11 losses this year... go somewhere and pray 😆 🤣

It makes sense… Hue was getting that arse tapped in the NFL with the browns and Grambling was getting their arse tapped all year… Loser partnering with a loser.. the Prime effect even is helping Grambling become back page news after Coach Prime and JSU… so when this team goes 6-5 next season don’t run this one outta town like y’all did ole alien head… ungrateful suckas got a celebration bowl out of him and they ain’t have his back when times got rough…
