Each of the selected winners will be awarded 4 seats to the “12th Man” Suite with one free parking pass. These lucky fans will have the opportunity to enjoy the view from the suite as well as access to Club Lounges throughout the stadium.
- Drawings will be held approximately two weeks prior to each preseason and regular season home game, and five days prior to each playoff home game.
