Cheez-It is giving superfans and players all they need to be lookin' and 'Feelin' the Cheeziest' with the Cheez-It Flexin' Section, an on-field barbershop and spa experience

CHICAGO, Nov. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Cheez-It® Citrus Bowl is back, doubling down on the incredibly cheezy experience fans and players know and love from last season's game debut. Cheez-It knows sports fans and players alike go to absurd lengths to rep their teams on game day, just like Cheez-It fans will go to absurd lengths for their favorite snack. That's why the 2024 Cheez-It Citrus Bowl is giving passionate fans the inspiration they need to be lookin' and "Feelin' the Cheeziest" with the Cheez-It Flexin' Section – a first-of-its-kind on-field barbershop and spa-inspired experience right on the field so fans can flex their superfandom for all to see.

The Cheez-It Flexin' Section services give fans a whole new way to show off their love of Cheez-It with looks to rock their go-to game day snack from head to toe, literally. This absurdly cheezy destination, dedicated to creating the cheeziest superfan makeovers, will dish out one-of-a-kind Cheez-It-ified treatments including orange hair dye jobs, mani/cheddiz (get it?), cheez-scented massages and the chance to soak up all the action from the literal hottest seats in the house – the Cheez-It on-field hot tub.

"After last year's excitement around our 'Feelin' the Cheeziest' Hotel Rooms, we knew we had to take the fan and player experience to the next level," said Cara Tragselier, Senior Brand Director for Cheez-It. "Cheez-It is all about elevating game day excitement and celebrating the absurdly-obsessed fans of all things football, from the game to the food. We cannot wait to unveil the Cheez-It Flexin' Section to give fans the most epic game viewing experience and all the tools to show their pride for their favorite team and their favorite snack."

How Fans Can Score Access to the Cheez-It Flexin' Section
Fans looking to experience the Cheez-It Flexin' Section will have to prove that they're "Feelin' the Cheeziest" by heading to the free pre-game FanFest just outside Camping World Stadium and getting one of the complimentary Cheez-It Citrus Bowl Cutz, courtesy of onsite stylists and barbers dishing up fresh trims and other cheezy services.
