Kicking Off the 2021 NFL Season with Responsibility
The NFL Kickoff Experience on September 9, 2021, at Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park in Tampa, FL gave TEAM a first-time opportunity to infuse responsibility into the celebration to start the season. The game was an historic match-up as the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosted the Dallas Cowboys. The Bucs won the game by kicking a walk-off field goal with 0:02 seconds left on the clock.
More than 30,000 fans enjoyed the Kickoff Experience that included a concert by Ed Sheeran. The Bud Light tailgate zone offered fans a Responsibility Has Its Rewards (RHIR) sweepstakes. Fans who shared their safe ride plan were entered for a chance to win a $500 NFLShop.com gift card.
50% of the fans who pledged were in the target demographic age range – between 21 and 35. Of those, 80% said ride share was their safe ride plan option of choice.
Congratulations to the Responsibility Has Its Rewards sweepstakes winner – Jeffrey Storoniak Jr. of Trinity, FL.
