Bahamas Bowl now sponsored by Illinois town home to world’s largest industrial park

Just when you thought the Bahamas Bowl couldn’t get any stranger, the game landed a sponsorship from an Illinois town named Elk Grove Village. The town’s mayor proudly shared this tidbit on the Illinois town.

“Elk Grove Village is home to the largest industrial park in the United States, spurred by our village’s commitment to being beyond business-friendly,” said Elk Grove Village Mayor Craig Johnson.

Alrighty then.

The director of the bowl released the following statement on the new partnership:

“We are excited to have Elk Grove Village as the title sponsor of the Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl,” said Richard Giannini, Executive Director of the Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl. “It is a unique sponsorship that allows Elk Grove Village and its thriving business community to take the Makers Wanted message to a national audience on ESPN. We thank Mayor Craig Johnson for his innovative vision, and we look forward to another great bowl game this year.”

The next Bahamas Bowl is set to be played December 21, 2018 in Nassau, Bahamas.
