Coastal Carolina University (CCU) football fans can look forward to cheering on their team this season with limited edition Bud Light cans, which are set to feature the school’s branding and colors. This year, CCU is among 28 universities represented on these collectible cans, an increase from 26 teams last season.
This collaboration is seen as a reflection of the growing momentum of CCU athletics, as expressed by the athletic director, Chance Miller. He noted that CCU’s expanding student body and the supportive local community in Horry County were contributing factors to the partnership with Bud Light.
The specially designed cans showcase CCU’s colors: teal, white, and black, alongside the university’s Chanticleers logo and distinctive jersey-inspired stripes. Fans will be able to purchase these cans at all concession stands in Brooks Stadium and at various grocery stores and gas stations throughout Horry County while supplies last. Demand for the cans has already surged, prompting plans for regular restocking throughout the football season.
As part of this partnership, CCU is expected to gain financial benefits through licensing rights and sponsorship funds from Southern Crown Partners. This funding is aimed at enhancing the fan experience and engaging the community during games. To promote safety, “Drink Responsibly” signage will be prominently displayed at the entrance of Brooks Stadium, with additional safety messages broadcasted during the matches.
Furthermore, it is emphasized that the Bud Light collaboration will not compromise CCU’s academic integrity. Miller has stated that the university can maintain its educational goals while also allowing fans to enjoy the college football experience.
This season, new traditions and enhancements for CCU football games will include a spectacular drone show at the first home game, updated lighting by the third home game, exciting pyrotechnics, and a planned motorcycle entrance to add excitement during game-day ceremonies. Fans purchasing tickets will also benefit from unlimited free concessions, adding extra value to the gameday experience.
Each limited edition Bud Light can will feature a QR code that directs fans to exclusive content and opportunities. Prizes will include game tickets, merchandise gift cards from Fanatics, and a chance to meet comedian Shane Gillis, who is featured in a new Bud Light commercial campaign. The promotional materials will contain humorous content that blends university spirit with the energy of college football.
Other universities featured on Bud Light cans include prominent institutions such as Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia Southern, Iowa State, Kansas, Kentucky, and Texas. This initiative by Bud Light aims to enhance the overall viewing and fan experience at college football events across the nation.
