PURCHASE, N.Y., Sept. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- While it may be uncertain if Steelers Nation will watch their team from Heinz field this season, one thing is for sure: Pepsi is giving lucky fans the chance to roll with wide-out star and bicycle enthusiast Juju Smith-Schuster during a private bike ride at the stadium. And for fans watching from home this season, Pepsi launched an online portal filled with all the watching essentials to unapologetically enjoy game day from the couch.
To get fans amped, Pepsi dropped a digital short featuring JuJu (and a special cameo from Offensive Tackle Zach Banner!) that features the Wide Receiver leading a hilarious virtual bike tour around Heinz Field on his custom Steelers X Pepsi bike. The content kicks off a larger sweeps where fans can enter for a chance to win Steelers memorabilia, or be one of three lucky grand prize winners to receive a one-of-a-kind tricked-out custom bike and join JuJu for an epic ride at Heinz Field.
"My Steelers family knows how much going on a ride means to me," says Steelers Wide Receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. " I am so pumped to team up with Pepsi and share my love of bike riding and of the game with our fans and roll with lucky winners on an unforgettable bike ride at our Heinz Field home."
"We know this year is going to look a little different for Steelers fans," says Umi Patel, CMO, PepsiCo North Division.
