Iconic Trophy Delivered with Help of NFL
Legend, Anquan Boldin
As the world of football comes together in Miami to prepare for
Super Bowl LIV, one iconic piece has already arrived. FedEx, the
Official Delivery Service Sponsor of the NFL, secured the safe and
on-time delivery of the Vince Lombardi Trophy to the Super Bowl
Experience Presented by Lowe’s, marking the first key milestone in
the week of celebrations leading up to The Big Game.
“Today marks the 20th consecutive year FedEx has safely
delivered the iconic Vince Lombardi Trophy, one of the most
recognizable trophies in all of sports, to the Super Bowl host
city,” said Patrick Fitzgerald, Senior Vice President, Integrated
Marketing and Communications. “Our annual delivery of this special
hardware is one of more than a billion deliveries we make for and
to customers each year. On behalf of more than 490,000 FedEx team
members around the world, we are honored to deliver this trophy to
football fans.”
The historic trophy, which was handcrafted by artisans at
Tiffany & Co., is made of sterling silver and depicts a
regulation-size football in kicking position on a pyramid-like base
that includes the words ‘Vince Lombardi Trophy’ and ‘Super Bowl
LIV’ along with the NFL shield.
Lazaro Valle, a Miami Gardens resident and FedEx Express courier
for 25 years, made the final delivery to the Super Bowl Experience
with the help of Anquan Boldin, Super Bowl XLVII Champion and
14-year NFL Veteran.
During its trip to Miami, the famous trophy was monitored by
SenseAware®, a FedEx innovation. SenseAware tracked the trophy from
NFL Headquarters in New York to the Miami Beach Convention Center
where it is now on display. The device also tracks environmental
factors such as temperature and humidity and monitors light
detection, which would indicate if the package was opened before
its arrival in Miami. Throughout the week, fans visiting the Miami
area can get up-close and personal with the trophy at Super Bowl
Experience, pro football's interactive theme park at the Miami
Beach Convention Center. On Sunday, Feb. 2, it will be awarded to
either the San Francisco 49ers or Kansas City Chiefs, commemorating
a Super Bowl champion for the 2019-20 NFL season.
“Every year at the Super Bowl, we’re honored to offer fans the
opportunity to see and take pictures with the iconic Vince Lombardi
Trophy up-close and personal at Super Bowl Experience before it is
awarded to the Super Bowl champions,” said Peter O’Reilly, NFL
Executive Vice President of Club Business and League Events. “As we
culminate our 100th season and look to the next 100, we’re excited
to continue this tradition in collaboration with FedEx ahead of
Super Bowl LIV in Miami.”
