The Capital One Orange Bowl is letting Mississippi State fans bring their cowbells into Sun Life Stadium.

Mississippi State fans love their cowbells and clanging them at games to raise the noise volume in the stadium. It is certainly an advantage on their home field but what about at a neutral site, like their upcoming appearance on the Capital One Orange Bowl.

First off all it is pretty shocking that this had to be announced, was the Orange Bowl ever not going to let them bring their cowbells to the game? How could the Orange Bowl have tried to keep away a tradition like this, specifically when so many teams have other interesting traditions like firing off guns or cannons.

“We appreciate the Capital One Orange Bowl allowing our fans to continue a timeless Mississippi State tradition at this year’s game,” said MSU Director of Athletics Scott Stricklin. “Our fans did a wonderful job this season with cowbell compliance, and I know they’ll exhibit the same as a show of appreciation to the Orange Bowl.”

It isn’t without a catch though, fans are asked to ring their bells responsibly which means not ringing them from the time the offensive center is over the football until the play is whistled dead. Good luck controlling thousands of drunk college students in South Beach from ringing cowbells at the wrong time.
