Eight students from Niagara University’s College of Hospitality, Sport, and Tourism Management traveled to New Orleans to see what goes into organizing the National Football League’s showcase event, and they worked behind the scenes at Super Bowl LIX for a one-of-a-kind experiential learning opportunity.

On the days leading up to the big game, the students participated in a variety of tasks at the NFL Experience presented by Panini at Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. As an integral part of these celebratory events and activities, they learned the skills that are needed to host and execute a major hospitality, sport, and tourism event.
