"The NFL was built on multi-generational fandom that bonds people together," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in March when the contest was launched. "Giving someone a century's worth of NFL season tickets may be the single greatest sports prize ever offered to a fan. It represents 100 years filled with incredible memories to share with the people who matter most."
