Things are expected to be busy in southern Palm Beach County today as the 2024 Boca Raton Bowl kicks off.
Western Kentucky and James Madison will face-off this evening.
It's the Madison Dukes' first time in the bowl game, while the Hilltoppers have played in the Boca Bowl twice before.
There was a kick-off luncheon and a pep rally yesterday.
For a few hours before the 5:30 p.m. kickoff, there is a Fan Fest event on the Florida Atlantic campus, featuring live music, carnival games and a Cowboy Circus. There will also be representatives from Spirit of Giving, the charity partner of the Boca Raton Bowl, on hand.
The game will be the first one to be played at FAU's stadium under its new name, Flagler Credit Union Stadium, the result of a just announced 15-year naming rights deal.
