T-Mobile is transforming Friday night lights forever for one deserving small town — just like it’s done for rural wireless service — with a $2 million grand prize football field technology makeover called T-Mobile Friday Night 5G Lights. In addition, 16 finalists will each receive $25,000 and 300 schools will each receive $5,000 throughout the competition's entry period to support high school football programs nationwide.
Check out all the details below and please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or if you are interested in an interview!
The competition, which kicks off today, is open to the thousands of small towns across the country (populations of 150K or less) that live and breathe high school football.
T-Mobile is launching Friday Night 5G Lights to bring awareness to the massive investments the company’s made in rural America since it launched 5G for All in April 2021, — nearly 500,000 square miles of new 5G coverage and hundreds of new stores — while celebrating the community spirit that makes small-town America so special. Nothing brings that spirit out quite like high school football.
To help, T-Mobile has teamed up with four-time Super Bowl champion Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski to take hometown pride to the next level. To get in the game, school representatives (think administrators, principals, athletic directors, coaches, teachers, etc.) can apply on behalf of their school to get the ultimate football field tech makeover. Just tell us why your school is most deserving of the grand prize tech upgrade and how it will impact your community.
