The crash of the helmets. The smells of cheap hot dogs. The blaring of the official’s whistle. And now, for the first time, the sights of decor and inflatable tunnels from the collaboration between NFL and Nike draped across stadiums throughout the country.
High school football is back, and the NFL and Nike have partnered to put together a kickoff event that will have 20 teams play host to schools, and two games take place at the Ronaldo Field at Nike World Headquarters in Oregon.
On Friday night, the boys football game between DeSoto High School (Texas) and St. Augustine High School (New Orleans, La.) and the girls flag football game between Tampa, Fla. schools Alonso High and Robinson High at Nike HQ will headline the event and be broadcast on NFL Network.
