BETHESDA, Md., February 5, 2025 (ENTERTAINMENT INTERVIEWS) — Marriott Bonvoy and Courtyard by Marriott organized a Jason Kelce lookalike challenge in New Orleans, awarding a stay in the Courtyard Super Bowl Sleepover Suite inside Caesars Superdome and tickets to Super Bowl LIX.

Five fan duos competed in a citywide search to "Find the Real Jason Kelce," with Maris and Donnovan from Texas winning the prize. The challenge featured 25 Kelce lookalikes across the French Quarter as part of a promotional event ahead of the game.

"The Marriott Bonvoy partnership with the NFL is all about creating incredible opportunities to bring football fans closer to the game they love, and teaming up with Jason Kelce this season helped us to fulfill this promise in new and fun ways for our members. Bringing dozens of Jason Kelce lookalikes down to New Orleans to help select our Courtyard by Marriott Super Bowl Sleepover Suite winner seemed to be the only fitting end to this incredible season, and if you're down in New Orleans, you might just spot one of them running around the French Quarter this weekend!" said Peggy Roe, executive vice president and chief customer officer of Marriott International.

The Courtyard Super Bowl Sleepover Suite, an annual tradition now in its ninth year, transforms a stadium suite into a functioning hotel room. The contest allows one fan duo to stay overnight inside the stadium before the game, making them the first guests inside the venue on game day.
