Peach Bowl organizers made the announcement Monday.

“We love all the great traditions of college football, and without a doubt Bevo is one of the best, but the unfortunate reality is that there just aren’t enough seats on the sidelines of Mercedes-Benz Stadium,” their statement read.

“With stadium restrictions and prioritizing the safety of Bev, players, all network cameras, support staff, cheerleaders and photographers, unfortunately we will not be able to have Bev on the field for the CFP Quarterfinals at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl”
