"This year, the return of the NFL matters more than ever. America is looking for a sense of normalcy, and the return of one of the country's largest cultural events is sure to provide that joy. Our campaign is meant to tap into the excitement and anticipation kickoff provides and evoke some of the same magical feelings we have during the holiday season."

Tostitos: Season-Long Homegate Hero Campaign Kicking off with FanTrack Bags
'Twas the Night Before Kickoff leads Frito-Lay's 2020 NFL programming, followed by a new campaign from Tostitos:

  • From stadium nachos and other culinary treasures, to raucous crowd chants, to over-the-top tailgates, the NFL stadium experience is one-of-a-kind. But this year it's likely to look a little different. Tostitos, the Official Chip & Dip of the NFL, is here to help you be the hero of your homegate and bring that stadium experience home throughout the season, whether through recipes, NFL stars or epic content.
  • Kicking things off, Tostitos is dialing up the sounds of the stadium for your home through unique technology with the Tostitos FanTrack bag. These limited-edition, custom bags feature chip-activated motion sensors — a technological innovation that plays fans' favorite chants with every bowlful of Tostitos to emulate the same comradery as if you were watching live on the field.
  • Tostitos FanTrack bags are available in 10 unique team designs with coordinating iconic sounds: Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fans can enter for a chance to win a Tostitos FanTrack bag starting today by tweeting @Tostitos using #HomegateHeroEntry and tagging their favorite NFL FanTrack team.
  • To celebrate the launch of the innovative FanTrack bags, Tostitos is partnering with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott to share his tips for hosting the ultimate NFL homegate. "Football is returning at a time when fans and players need it most, and I'm thrilled to partner with Tostitos to make this season feel as normal and exhilarating as possible," said Prescott.
