MT. LAUREL, NJ - The Field of 68 AFTER DARK is taking the show on the road for the Final Four, partnering with Gordon Biersch Brewery in the heart of New Orleans.

AFTER DARK, which is currently broadcast on the network’s YouTube and social channels as well as on Sirius XM Channel 84 (ESPNU Radio), will be broadcast from the brewery and restaurant throughout Final Four week, with lunchtime and happy hour shows on Wednesday, March 30 and Thursday, March 31, as well as Friday, April 1 and Monday, April 3.

“We’re excited and fortunate to be able to partner with a terrific venue in Gordon Biersch,” Field of 68 founder Rob Dauster said. “We’ll have all our mainstays that have been on the program all season, and we’ll have all the prominent coaches and players in New Orleans coming through to join us live.” 

Gordon Biersch is located at 200 Poydras Street in New Orleans. Gordon Biersch, founded over 25 years ago, is where German precision brewing meets American craft beer. Each restaurant has an onsite brewery where local Brewmasters brew to the highest German standards and use the purest ingredients to create clean, fresh German lagers and the finest American craft beer.

In addition, AFTER DARK will be hosting pre-game and post-game shows from the Superdome on the night of the Final Four and the national title game.

The Field of 68 AFTER DARK airs on SiriusXM’s ESPNU Radio channel.  ESPNU Radio is available to subscribers nationwide on the SiriusXM radios in their cars (channel 84) and on the SXM app.

The show features a rotating cast of some of the most prominent names in the sport. Featuring interviews with top players such as potential No. 1 draft pick Jabari Smith and the darling of the NCAA Tournament, Shaheen Holloway, as well as the top coaches in the sport, including Baylor’s Scott Drew and Kansas’ Bill Self, no show has kept fans more up to date on the happenings in college basketball through the best month of the season.  

The lineup of rotating voices includes Stadium Insider Jeff Goodman, former college stars Robbie Hummel, Randolph Childress, Terrence Oglesby and Ashton Gibbs, as well as veteran coaches Sean Miller, Archie Miller and Steve Prohm.

Field of 68 founder Rob Dauster, rising star John Fanta and media titans like Doug Gottlieb, Seth Davis, Mike DeCourcey and Jeff Borzello have also been a presence on the show, as well as young, up-and-coming media stars Kevin Sweeney of SI.com, Sean Paul, the Sleepers Media duo of Greg Waddell and Carter Elliott, and the Three Man Weave trio of Jim Root, Matt Cox and Ky McKeon.

“There was a major void right in the digital space with regard to college basketball,” Dauster said. “We gave diehard college basketball fans somewhere to go each night from the very start of the season. We will continue to do so through the national title game. AFTER DARK is where you need to be to not only be informed, but also entertained.”
