Courtyard by Marriott, the Official Hotel of the NFL, is joining the NFL for its 100th season celebration by paying tribute to the League's true foundation: the fans. For a century, families and friends have bonded over the shared experiences that the NFL provides. Now entering its ninth year as the League's official hotel partner, Courtyard by Marriott and Marriott Bonvoy will offer fans unrivaled access to NFL experiences that will create lasting memories. From the Courtyard Super Bowl Sleepover Contest to NFL-related Moments available exclusively to Marriott Bonvoy members, travelers and fans will be delighted all season long with a full slate of intimate NFL experiences paired with the best in hospitality.

Courtyard by Marriott's Super Bowl Sleepover Contest seeks "game-changing friendship"

Courtyard by Marriott is kicking off the season with the return of its Courtyard Super Bowl Sleepover Contest. For the first time ever, Courtyard is searching for a game-changing friendship to award one winner as well as three friends the opportunity of a lifetime to wake up on Super Bowl Sunday inside the stadium.

"Just as NFL players need the support of their teammates in the quest for a Super Bowl championship, NFL fans need the support of their friends to achieve their own personal and professional goals," said Janis Milham, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader, Classic Select Brands. "As the hotel brand that supports guests on their journey and experience of pursuing their passions on and off the road, Courtyard is proud to once again partner with the NFL to bring fans closer to the game."

The winner of the Courtyard Super Bowl Sleepover Contest will enjoy an overnight stay inside a stadium suite transformed into a Courtyard guest room with a view overlooking the field. Courtyard will host the winner and three friends for a night of awe-inspiring, in-stadium experiences and access to exclusive events throughout the weekend, culminating in tickets to Super Bowl LIV. In another first, this year's suite will also feature the newly designed Courtyard Bistro Bar, offering the winners a taste of Courtyard's new food and beverage concept.

Courtyard is looking to celebrate the game-changing friendship of one NFL fan along with a group of their friends who have encouraged each other to follow their passions. Fans can enter with a photo and short story via Twitter, Instagram and Facebook using #CourtyardSuperBowlContest in posts showing and describing their game-changing friendship. Fans can also enter in-person during Courtyard's Fan Experience activation within the NFL Kickoff Experience in Chicago on September 5 and at select NFL team "Fantennial" celebrations in several other cities. The contest ends at midnight on October 31, 2019.
