Official hotel partner of the NCAA, Fairfield by Marriott has announced a collaboration with former college football star Jesse Palmer to reward the country’s most dedicated football fans.

In celebration of the college football fandom in the 2024 season, Fairfield by Marriott is looking to honor the fans who fiercely support their teams, no matter where they are.

Football fans have the opportunity to share their story with Fairfield and Jesse Palmer for a chance to win an ultimate game day experience at their favorite stadium. College football enthusiasts can enter ‘The Home Field Advantage’ contest by submitting a scroll-stopping video or written entry with photo explaining the lengths they’ve gone to support their team and prove their pride. The contest is currently open through Friday, November 8, 2024 at FairfieldFans.com

“There is nothing like the feeling of the home crowd roar. I’ve experienced it as a player on the field and from the broadcast booth, the passion from fans truly makes a difference when the game is on the line,” said Jesse Palmer, former NCAA college football quarterback.

Palmer added, “That is why I’m teaming up with Fairfield by Marriott to reward the most passionate college football fans with the opportunity to show up for their teams and be part of the home field advantage on game day.”

In addition to forever bragging rights, 10 winning fans will be rewarded with game day trips which may include:

  • Roundtrip air transportation from anywhere in the 50 United States/Washington DC
  • Two-night hotel accommodations at a nearby Fairfield by Marriott hotel
  • Game-day tickets for two
  • Additional school-specific VIP experiences such as the Pre-Game Dawg Walk Tour at University of Georgia, at select universities

“We know that College Football fans will do just about anything for their teams, and we want to celebrate the passion and traditions that make the Home Field Advantage strong, whether they are cheering from near or far,” said Brian Povinelli, Senior Vice President, Global Head of Marketing and Brand at Marriott International. “Sometimes even the biggest fans don’t have the opportunity to travel to attend home games, so we want to ensure the loudest and proudest college football fans have the chance to bring the hype to their favorite team on their home turf.”
