Halftime is when fans will embrace the beautiful bean magic—wearing complimentary Bush's Beans Beans All Over Bucket Hats to manifest the world's biggest bowl of beans and help the stadium take its final form in a stunning visual for all to see.

"This is my kind of football celebration," said Key. "It's going to be super fun, and I am excited to be part of some beautiful bean bowl footage on gameday."

On Dec. 23, the first 2,000 fans who bring a can of Bush's Beans to the stadium will unlock a seat into the "MVBean" section near the end zone. Fans will follow a trail of can't-miss 10-foot-tall cans to Gate 3 of the stadium next to the "Spirit of Giving" tent to trade in their cans for entry, with all cans being donated to local families in need.

Since the sponsorship was announced in November, fans have been buzzing about the endless possibilities of what the inaugural bean bowl could entail. Rest assured, Bush's Beans is planning everything fans didn't know they needed, with a few special ingredients in store:

• Slow-Cooked Stovetop Trophy – Some games have the torch and eternal flame. In true bean-obsessed fashion, the Bush's Boca Raton Bowl of Beans will have a massive pot of simmering beans instead, with a stove to be lit when the game starts to get fans fired up and to bring a delicious surprise saved for the winning team's celebration.
• Pregame Bean Bash – Fans can kick off the chaos with cannonballs into a replica stadium ball pit full of beans, check out the Bush's Beans Canper, a giant can built like an RV, and more – all designed to look like an oversized dinner placemat.
• Beans…Literally Everywhere – Legume lovers rejoice. Every corner of the stadium will be wrapped in pure bean-print glory, with fans sporting the brand's Beautiful Bean Co. merch, competing teams running through a bean can tunnel upon entering the game and no shortage of bean-forward bites to snack on.

"Something magical happens on game day, and beans are the ultimate crowd-pleaser that fuels fans in a way few foods can," said Stephen Palacios, Senior Vice President of Marketing. "Whether you're watching from the stadium stands or a living room, we can't wait to bring the best parts of our bean-loving community to make history with the biggest bowl of beans you've ever seen. Fun surprises, unique experiences and all things beans are on the menu."
