Partnership renewal promises another season of electrifying game days infused with the refreshing taste of fresh mangos

ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Mango Board and Florida State University (FSU) Athletics today announced the renewal of their successful marketing partnership. Building on one year of collaboration, the two organizations are committed to elevating the game day experience by bringing the joy of fresh mangos to athletes and fans alike.

The National Mango Board will return to Langford Green and Doak Campbell Stadium for another season of mango-themed promotions, expanding its presence at FSU football, baseball and softball games. For football, the National Mango Board's presence will activate at the Sept. 2 Boston College game, the Sept. 21 game against the University of California, Berkeley and the Oct. 5 game against Clemson. This partnership renewal will continue to bring a fun twist on collegiate sports through fresh mango treats, exciting giveaways and engaging interactive experiences.

"We're absolutely thrilled to extend our partnership with Florida State University Athletics," said Dan Spellman, director of marketing for the National Mango Board. "The Seminoles' electrifying game-day atmosphere is the ideal setting to share the delicious taste of fresh mangos, as well as the fruit's versatility and nutritional power packed into every bite."

To kick off the season, Seminole fans will be immersed in the world of fresh mangos with the arrival of the Mango "Joy Ride" food truck at FSU's home opener on Sept. 2. This mobile mango food truck will bring fresh mango treats, interactive activities, and photo opportunities directly to FSU Athletics for a new take on the FSU game day experience.

Bill Houston, general manager of Florida State Global Partnerships, echoed this sentiment, stating, "We are proud to continue our partnership with the National Mango Board to promote nutritional choices and delicious flavors to our fans. At Florida State, we are always striving to improve the gameday experience for our fans, and our continued partnership with the National Mango Board is an exciting way to do that."
