"We are excited to once again, bring our NFL partnership to life by celebrating the powerful memories that fans have made while traveling for the love of football, an experience that they have missed so much in the past year and a half."

The winner of the Super Bowl Sleepover Contest will enjoy an overnight stay inside a stadium suite transformed into a Courtyard guest room overlooking the field. In addition to the sleepover, Courtyard will host the winner and a friend for a weekend of awe-inspiring experiences with access to exclusive events, culminating with tickets to Super Bowl LVI.
