Wing Bowl 2014 Details Announced; Tkts. 12/10

SportsRadio 94WIP’s Wing Bowl, which has become the most infamous annual radio event in the world, returns to the Wells Fargo Center on Friday, January 31, 2013 at 6 a.m. Tickets for the 22nd annual competitive chicken wing eating event are $10 and go on sale tomorrow, Tuesday, December 10 at 9 a.m. online at WingBowl22.com/Tickets and ComcastTIX.com, by calling 1-800-298-4200 or in person at Wells Fargo Center. Wing Bowl 22 is proudly presented by Steven Singer Jewelers and SugarHouse Casino.

Wing Bowl 22 is about doubles and is sure to double the fun and excitement this year.  WIP has also doubled the stakes and is offering the most prizes in the history of the event.  Eaters who qualify for Wing Bowl 22 will compete against last year’s champion Jamie “The Bear” McDonald of Granby, Connecticut, for the biggest cash prize in Wing Bowl history of $22,000 from Steven Singer Jewelers. For the first time ever, SportsRadio 94WIP has two cars-one for the top local eater and one for the top college eater (two 2014 Chrysler 200’s from Barbera’s on the Boulevard), two bikes for Wingettes (two Harley Davidson 883 Sportster Motorcycles from Barb’s Harley Davidson) and other incredible prizes.  And for the first time ever, Wing Bowl will have a college division, with the top collegiate eater winning one of the cars. Further details can be found at www.WingBowl22.com

WIP Morning Show host Angelo Cataldi, who co-founded Wing Bowl 21 years ago with radio partner Al Morganti said, "Now that we have reached the magical number 22 with our annual Wing Bowl, we've decided to double the excitement. We have double the amount of prizes -- over $100,000 in all -- including two cars, two motorcycles and $22,000 in cash for our competitors and a dozen all-inclusive vacations.  For the first time, colleges will be pitted against one another in a special competition within the Wing Bowl. A new wave of amazing new competitive eaters is arriving as well to challenge our reigning champion, Jamie the Bear from New England. And, of course, there will be the usual wild, provocative Wingettes, the elaborate floats, Playboy's Miss August Val Keil will appear and more surprises than ever. What a year. What a Wing Bowl. Don't miss it."

WIP's Wing Bowl 22 will be broadcast live on 94WIP.  The contest will also be streamed live over the Internet at CBSPhilly.com as well as through the Radio.comapp for a variety of mobile devices. Proceeds from WIP's Wing Bowl 22 will benefit the Philadelphia Police Department Survivor’s Fund, The Police Athletic League, the Comcast-Spectacor Charities and other beneficiaries to be named soon.

Contestants are selected based on their ability to complete challenging eating stunts featured during the SportsRadio 94WIP Morning Show, heard weekdays from 5:30-10:00 AM, or on-site "Wing-Offs" held throughout Philadelphia.  PJ Whelihan’s is the official supplier of wings for WIP Wing Bowl 22, their seventh consecutive year as sponsor and supplier.
