Sad news for our community, but an intelligent decision...

Viba is a proud sponsor of the Sun Bowl Association and the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl.

We hope to see you all next year!

#elpasostrong #elpasohealthy #sunbowl #tonythetiger #kellogs #vibatransport #elpaso

The Sun Bowl Association announced on Tuesday, Dec. 1 that the 2020 Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl is canceled due to the ongoing issues with the COVID-19 Pandemic throughout the nation.

This is the first time in the 87-year history of the Sun Bowl football game that it has had to cancel. The decision, made by the Sun Bowl Association Board of Directors, was not an easy one but one that needed to be made.

“The Sun Bowl has historically been a way to expose our amazing City of El Paso to the rest of our country. A great way to share our culture, our community, our people, and our neighbors to the South,” said Football Committee Chairman and long-time Board Member John Folmer. “However, now is no time to expose players and their families to the Pandemic and being that I’ve been involved with Sun Bowl for almost 50 years, and it breaks my heart to do this. But it is the right thing to do.”

The Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl is the second oldest bowl game in the business with the first Sun Bowl game being played at El Paso High School’s Jones Stadium, with the El Paso All-Stars defeating Ranger 25-21. 2003 Legend of the Sun Bowl Ken Heineman accounted for every El Paso All-Star point.

Last year, Arizona State defeated Florida State 20-14.

STATEMENT FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BERNIE OLIVAS
“While it is a very sad decision to make, we believe it is the right decision based on the current situation in El Paso and the nation regarding the Covid-19 pandemic. The safety and well-being of everybody involved must be our priority, and our board unanimously approved the cancelation of the 2020 Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl. We look forward to bringing back El Paso’s long-standing tradition game 2021 and all the festivities associated with the game. I would like to thank CBS, Kellogg’s, the ACC and PAC-12 conferences, and all our sponsors and vendors for their understanding in this matter.”

STATEMENT FROM GAME SPONSOR KELLOGG’S FROSTED FLAKES
“Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes and Tony the Tiger recognize the impact the game’s cancelation has on our entire local community and all the local game day workers who traditionally make the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl run. From the parking attendants and maintenance to the concessions team and ushers, Tony the Tiger will ensure Sun Bowl workers receive their usual paycheck this holiday season. Additionally, Frosted Flakes will donate 1 million meals to El Paso food banks, which continues our game’s historic commitment to the families and residents of this vibrant community.”

STATEMENT FROM BOARD PRESIDENT NATALIA FLORES
“Due to what is happening nationwide in the bowl industry, across the country and in El Paso, we had to make this difficult decision. The well-being of the people involved and that participate in the Sun Bowl game are of upmost importance to us. We are looking forward to 2021 and are exploring ideas on how to help the community impacted by the loss of the game.”

STATEMENT FROM PAC-12
“We share our student-athletes and fans disappointment regarding today’s news of the Sun Bowl’s cancelation due to the pandemic. We are looking forward to witnessing a Pac-12 team compete in the 2021 edition of the Sun Bowl and to continuing the great excitement and tradition of this marquee event next year.”

TICKET INFORMATION (from Ticket Manager Ellen Hughes)
We thank our loyal ticket purchasers, partners and sponsors for their patience as we navigated through the difficult decisions brought on by the challenging circumstances facing us in 2020.

When we return for the 2021 Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl Game, our annual ticket account holders can rest assured they will be contacted and given priority options to renew their accounts. Any questions or concerns may be directed to Ellen Hughes, Sun Bowl Association Ticket Manager, at 915-533-4416 x200 or [email protected]

3,100 new cases today!

We hope it sinks in... no more to say!

#ElPasoStrong #elpasohealthy #vibatransport

An all-time high of 3,100 new COVID-19 cases and 438 delayed test results by the State are being reported this morning for a cumulative total of 56,355 cases and 21,902 active cases.

Eight deaths are also being reported today for a total of 617. All 8 patients had underlying health conditions. The deaths include 1 male in his 40s, 1 male in his 50s, 2 males in their 60s, 1 male in his 70s, 2 male in their 80s, and 1 male in his 90s.

As a reminder the deaths did not occur on the same day but rather between the second week of October and first week of November.

The community is reminded that this virus is highly transmissible and can be easily spread through inhaling infected droplets from individuals around us through talking, coughing, sneezing and singing. The virus can also be introduced into our system by touching our face after touching commonly used surfaces and areas such as doorknobs, countertops, or sharing pens, etc.

COVID-19 can be fatal, particularly for persons who don’t have an immune system strong enough to fight the virus, including persons 65 years of age and older and persons of any age with existing medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease and other. These are common medical conditions affecting many members of our community, therefore making El Paso highly vulnerable.

Health officials urge residents who have tested positive for COVID-19, to remain isolated at home and for all in the same household to remain in quarantine; stating that is the only way we, together will be able to slow down the spread of the disease and protect our vulnerable loved ones.

Please note that starting today the map below will reflect the number of active COVID-19 cases rather than the cumulative total.

El Paso funeral homes prepare refrigerated units to house bodies as Covid-19 cases in the Texas city soar

This is not what we need to prepare for, not this!!!

Today 969 new COVID-19 cases and 269 delayed testing results by the State are being reported this morning for a total of 10,161 active cases and 37,263 cumulative cases.

Four additional deaths are also being reported this morning for a total of 571.

This is not an typo. All-time high of 1,161 new COVID cases. No more to comment!

Wear a mask, 6ft apart, wash your hands!

#elpasostrong #elpasohealthy #vibatransport

An all-time high of 1,161 new COVID-19 cases and 104 delayed testing results by the State are being reported this morning for a total of 9,406 active cases and 36,025 cumulative cases.

Four additional deaths are also being reported this morning for a total of 567. The deaths include 1 female in her 40s, 1 female in her 60s, 1 female in her 70s, and 1 female in her 90s. All 4 patients had underlying health conditions.

Today’s spike is part of an overall increase in cases seen over the last month due in part to ongoing community spread.

For this reason, the Mayor, the Department of Public Health (DPH) and Office of Emergency Management implemented further restrictions to slow the spread; and additional restrictions are under consideration. These strong restrictions are necessary and must be adhered to for the health and safety of the community.

Health officials reported that the community spread is due in part to the following factors:

• Individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 are not following proper health protocols and are not isolating;

• Residents are continuing to host or attend house parties, social gatherings or family gatherings;

• Residents are not wearing face masks while out in public or around people that do not live in the same household;

• Individuals who have tested positive are not being cooperative with Contact Tracers by failing to answer their calls, provide accurate information, or do not adhere to their recommendations.

Data suggest that 20 and 30 year olds appear to have contracted the virus while out in public and are not taking the proper safety precautions. The public is again reminded that infected persons with little to no symptoms can spread the virus to others; everyone must hold himself or herself accountable and work to protect each other.

A Press Conference will take place at 1 p.m. TODAY, Oct. 22, at El Paso City Hall, Main Conference Room to provide an update on the COVID-19 data and outline the restrictions.
