Bevo barred from Peach Bowl sidelines again due to space concerns

Bevo, the Texas Longhorns mascot, has been barred from the sidelines of the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl for the second time this month due to space concerns at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Officials previously cited the same reason during the SEC Championship game. The stadium, which spans 1.9 million square feet, lacks sufficient sideline space to ensure safety for Bevo, players, and staff. Bowl officials acknowledged Bevo's significance in college football traditions but confirmed he will not be allowed on the field. Reactions to the decision have been mixed, with some calling for Bevo's inclusion and others joking about the stadium's ample space. The Peach Bowl against Arizona State University is sold out, with resale tickets starting at $59.
