A weekend where generations come together. Where bands shake the stadium. Where culture fills every seat, every sound, every moment.

210,426 in attendance. Millions watching around the world. One tradition that continues to stand the test of time.

“If every year at Thanksgiving we know this game is going to happen — that’s the ultimate legacy.”
