ABOUT THE EVENT
A High-Energy Night of Football, Fun, and Fundraising
Join us for a spirited, community-driven evening as we bring the excitement of Friday night football indoors! At Friday Night Lights, every table becomes a sponsored suite, every suite has its own Coach and Quarterback, and every guest/fan plays a role in making the night unforgettable.
Fans cheer, compete, and participate in live QB Drives to the End Zone as we raise funds to support and advance our football program — one yard at a time.
This is a 21+ event.
HOW THE GAME WORKS
🏈 Six Live QB Drives
The event features 6 QB Drives to the End Zone — one per quarter plus overtime drives.
-
Each suite has a Coach and QB.
-
Coaches roll a single die on stage for their suite’s Quarterback.
-
QBs advance (or retreat) based on the roll.
-
Guests/Fans cheer on QBs and place bets on each drive.
-
The first QB to reach the end zone wins the drive and is entered into the Winning QB Prize Drawing.
Dice Plays
-
1 = Interception (–10 yards)
-
2–3 = Short Gain (+10 yards)
-
4–5 = First Down (+20 yards)
-
6 = Fumble (–10 yards)
FUNDRAISING FEATURES
