The deal marks the third such partnership with a casino for the Lions. Previously, Detroit’s NFL team signed agreements with BetMGM and WynnBET.
Said Soaring Eagle CEO, Melinda Coffin:
“Soaring Eagle Gaming is honored to join forces with the Detroit Lions in a multiyear partnership that will bring excitement to Lions fans. Soaring Eagle Gaming is eager to bring excitement to fans with our support of Power Hour, our Fan Cave experience, and gaming-related offers from all of our properties.”
Deal Includes Television Special
While the Lions’ partnership deals with BetMGM and WynnBet mostly included traditional marketing perks such as signage presence and authorized logo use, the deal with Soaring Eagle Casino includes an appearance in the Lions’ three-episode TV special which will tell behind-the-scenes stories within the organization, similar to HBO’s Hard Knocks series.
