“ESPN RADIO ANNOUNCES UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO GO BEHIND THE SCENES OF PENN STATE FOOTBALL
“ESPN Radio and Penn State Athletics announce a unique opportunity for Penn State fans to experience the “Biggest Show in the East” – a Penn State football Saturday. Fans have the opportunity to bid on a unique behind-the-scenes Penn State football experience during ESPN Radio’s first ever “Don’t Ever Give Up V Foundation Auction,” which will be held on Wednesday, July 13, 2005. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the V Foundation for Cancer Research.
“The Penn State football experience will open for bids at 7PM ET, and the bidding will close at approximately 7:40 PM ET. The experience includes the chance to get a behind-the-scenes look at the “Biggest Show in the East” at one of two games: the Cincinnati game September 10th or the Central Michigan game September 17th. The details of the experience include a chance for two people to attend Friday’s practice with Coach Paterno and the team, tour the Penn State football facilities, be at the Friday night media reception at the Nittany Lion Inn, witness and interview the number one tailgaters in the country, have a personal tour of the Penn State locker room pre-game, be on the field when the team enters in front of over 100,000 Penn State faithful, take a press row seat in the press box for the game, attend the post-game press conference with coaches and players, and file a report with the winning bidders’ byline for the October 29th Homecoming stadium program. Round trip airfare is included in the experience.
“Listeners should tune in to ESPN Radio via ESPN Radio 1450 in the State College area or worldwide via the web at www.espnradio.com. To bid on the experience, listeners will call 1-800-4JIMMYV. The two highest bidders will join GameNight hosts John Seibel and Doug Gottlieb at 7:45 PM ET to bid against each other on the air for the chance to experience a unique behind-the-scenes look at Penn State football. “
