Ten York College Sport Management majors are spending the week working at the Superbowl.

The students are accompanied by faculty members Rich Achtzehn and Dexter Davis, a visiting instructor who has been taking students to the event for several years. While there, students will volunteer at the NFL Experience, a temporary theme park that simulates various aspects of the game for the public during the week of the Super Bowl. In addition, they will work with NFL on Location, a hospitality group dedicated to creating unique experiences for football fans.
