Marriott Bonvoy announced the launch of its “Score Big with Marriott Bonvoy Game Day Rituals” campaign and contest to celebrate its eighth year as the Official Hotel Partner of the NCAA and the 2024 March Madness tournament.

The new “Game Day Rituals” campaign features a variety of NCAA athletes, coaches, and fans as they prepare for games at various Marriott Bonvoy hotels, including women’s college basketball coach and Marriott partner, Sydney Carter, meditating at the JW Marriott Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa.

To celebrate, Marriott Bonvoy is hosting a contest, with the winner getting an exclusive experience at the Women’s Final Four tournament in Cleveland, Ohio.

“Our Game Day Rituals campaign encapsulates the exceptional travel experiences that Marriott Bonvoy provides for travelers, from sports fans to players and coaches alike,” Marriott Vice President Mandy Gill said. “Whether it is our convenient accommodations, exceptional associate service, or key amenities, each Marriott Bonvoy brand helps bring game day rituals to life, complementing every fan’s unique personality, passion, and lifestyle.”

Running through March 11, sports fans can visit scorebigwithmarriottbonvoy.com, enter their Marriott Bonvoy number or sign up to become a member for free, and share their most eccentric game day rituals. 

One fan will win a grand prize for two including flights and hotel accommodations, transportation, courtside seats, food and beverage vouchers for the Semi Final and Championship games, and a game day rituals session with Sydney Carter.

Travelers who don’t win the Marriott Bonvoy Game Day Rituals Contest will still have an opportunity to get in on the excitement by bidding on a Marriott Bonvoy Moments package for a similar fan experience.

According to a Marriott Bonvoy survey, 63 percent of sports fans who have game day rituals think their team will lose if they don’t complete their rituals, and 50 percent would even wear a rival team’s apparel for a week if it meant their favorite team would win. 

In addition, 74 percent of sports fans who have game day rituals said they would risk their job to watch their team play for a championship during work hours.
