"I'm looking forward to collaborating with the season ticket holder who wins this contest," Akron head coach Joe Moorhead said in a news release.

Moorhead will work directly with the contest winner, which will be either a current season-ticket holder or someone who signs up for season tickets prior to the drawing on Aug. 19.
Akron went 5-7 last season, including 3-3 at home, so the bar won't be too high considering they did that by gaining 353.5 yards per game and scoring 22.3 points per game, good for fifth and eighth best in the MAC, respectively, in 2025.
"We're always looking for new ways to bring our fans closer to the program," Akron's director of athletics Dr. Andrew T. Goodrich said. "This is about giving one of our most loyal supporters a seat at the table, right alongside our coaching staff, on the biggest night of the season."
