On Saturday, February 6, the DIRECTV Celebrity Beach Bowl returned to South Beach, the site of the inaugural Beach Bowl. Now in its fourth year, the Beach Bowl brings together gridiron greats and a Who’s Who of the entertainment world in a no-holds-barred flag football game.

Hosting this year’s Beach Bowl was Dan Patrick. Super Bowl-winning quarterback Eli Manning coached Team Palladia HD, going head-to-head with Team Spike HD coach Mark Sanchez. Former NFL players Warren Moon and Rich Gannon were captains. Other former NFL players included Eddie George, Merril Hoge, Mark Schlererth, Desmond Howard, and Daryl Johnston.

Rounding out the teams were TV and films stars including Taylor Lautner, Jennifer Lopez, Chace Crawford, Marisa Miller, Ed Westwick, Kellan Lutz, Nancy O’Dell, Brian McKnight, Michael Clarke Duncan, The Wayans Brothers, Olivia Munn, and Jessica Szohr.

Immediately after the game and trophy presentation, the crowd filled the beach for The Post-Game Concert featuring the All-American Rejects.

Jack Murphy Productions was the primary designer and general contractor for this fabulous event. Classic helped plan, execute, design, and provided necessary event rentals.

And after the event…this is exactly where the Beach Bowl was set-up. As you can see, very eco-friendly!
