Champions Circle, Michigan launch sweepstakes for VIP access to Fresno State game
Champions Circle, partnered with Michigan Athletics, announced Tuesday afternoon a launch of exclusive game weekend experiences and activities for the 2024 season to grow fan engagement and support of NIL efforts in Ann Arbor.
All funds raised will go toward Champions Circle’s Michigan football fund.
The experiences, which can be found here, include access to the team walkthrough and team dinner on Friday, pre-game sideline passes, touching the M Club banner on the way out to the field, a private tour of Schembechler Hall and much more.
“I can’t begin to describe how awesome (this experience) was for our family,” a returning participant said in the press release. “Once we arrived at Schembechler Hall, we were immediately treated like VIPs of the program. Running out of the tunnel, seeing the stadium packed, hearing the roar of the crowd, and jumping to touch the banner was the most unrealistic and incredible experience I’ve ever had. (We are) so grateful we did it!”
Michigan fans can enter to win a VIP Gameday Experience for the home opener including Pre-game Sideline Passes, join the Team Walkthrough, and tickets to the game. Gameday experiences are available at championscircleuofm.com for every single game of the season including opportunities to run out of the tunnel and Touch the Banner with the team.
All funds for both the sweepstakes and experience menu go directly to the Champions Circle Michigan Football NIL Fund.
