Baldwin Wallace University sport management majors experienced the Super Bowl for the sixth year in a row, with 21 students making their way to Minneapolis to turn one of the biggest sporting events on the planet into a hands-on classroom.
As
has
become
a
BW
sport
management
tradition,
the
week
leading
up
to
the
big
game
was
a
blend
of
working
the
activities
at
the
NFL
Experience
(which
this
year
included
support
for
the
Pro
Football
Hall
of
Fame
Merlin
Olsen
Luncheon
honoring
Hall
of
Fame
coach
Bud
Grant
and
the
Wilf
family)
and
meetings
with
other
big
league
sports
organizations
in
the
host
city.
In
Minneapolis,
that
meant
networking
with
executives
from
Major
League
Baseball's
Twins,
the
NBA's
Timberwolves,
and
Steinberg
Sports
and
Entertainment.
Before packing their bags to go, students Matthew Roetter '19, a finance and sport management double major from Troy, Ohio and Alyssa Stroyne '19 a sport management major from Wexford, Penn. and Professor Charles Campisi talked to reporter Victor Williams for a WOIO 19 News report.
