College football has her sacred ground and storied games, but for the chapelites of St. Paul’s Lutheran Chapel no ground is more sacred and no game more storied than Willow Creek Park and the game called Luther Bowl.
Now in its ninth year, Luther Bowl invites chapelites, permanent congregation members, and alumni to divide into teams, strap on the flags, throw caution to the November wind, and compete in the greatest of all collegiate football games. It’s a game filled with brilliant plays and shouts of “NOOOOOOO!” It’s a game of bumps and bruises and the occasional trip to the emergency room (Relax mom – this has only happened once in the last nine years). Most of all it’s a game filled with pride and tradition as the will forever be able to tell spouse and children, family and friends, “I Survived Luther Bowl.”
