Particularly special is the chance for fans to purchase authentic NFL memorabilia at the NFL Auction.

The Vince Lombardi Trophy will be on display surrounded by cherished memorabilia from the NFL world. In addition, there will be promotions related to Madden NFL 24, Pro Era, and Wilson football as well as authentic player jerseys from Mitchell & Ness and stylish apparel from Kingdom & Co.
