I’m still trying to find the words. The Banana Bowl was the greatest show we’ve ever put on. And I’ve never felt anything quite like it.
Eleven years ago, there were just six of us and we only sold a handful of tickets in Savannah. Last night, we stood in our nation’s capital with 41,000 fans from all 50 states and people watching around the world.
The moment I’ll carry forever was walking with Emily through 300 of our players and cast as they gave the performance of their lives to our new song, “Look What We Made.”
Looking around, I saw the people who made all of this possible. We were told this wouldn’t work. But through years of hard work and pouring our hearts into this, we achieved the impossible.
And it was only possible because of the fans who have been there for us and because of the moments we’ve created together.
I continue to replay the moments from last night.
The National Anthem performed by Pentatonix, while honoring some of the greatest Olympic and Paralympic gold medalists, World War II veterans, Medal of Honor and Purple Heart recipients.
John Cena’s epic entrance and delivery of the game ball. Andy Grammer, Kane Brown, Lindsey Stirling and O.A.R were unbelievable. Then the Jonas Brothers surprised everyone in the final inning. It was magical.
From Split sky diving in the first peel, to a show stopping performance from beauty and the beast with our whole cast, to the biggest show starts now with all of our players, to seeing all six teams debut their brand team anthems with unbelievable performances, the night had it all!
Then to have the championship decided in showdowns, you truly couldn’t have scripted it any better.
Congratulations to the Texas Tailgaters. You earned your crown and golden throne!
For years, I’ve dreamed of creating our biggest event to honor everyone who has built this with us. Our players. Our cast. Our staff. And our fans.
To everyone who believed in us, and has given their heart to this: thank you. I have so much love for all of you and I’m truly overwhelmed with gratitude.
Last night beside Emily on our 11-year anniversary, surrounded by all of you, I could only think “Look What We Made” together!
