In advance of the ESPN College GameDay Covered by State Farm show and the Florida at Kentucky game on Saturday, January 20, State Farm Agent Ashlee Kennedy will host an event featuring the ESPN College GameDay Bus.
Kennedy’s event, which is free and open to the public, will be located at Wings and Rings, 2809 Dixie Highway, Suite 6030, Crestview Hills on Thursday, January 18, from 3 p.m.-6 p.m.
The GameDay bus features lounges with leather sofas and reclining captain’s chairs, a galley kitchen and rest room. The bus has seven HD televisions in the front, a rear lounge and five receivers in the rear lounge so the GameDay team can watch five different games at once in order to collect information for their shows.
The Beechwood Pep Band has also been invited to perform for ESPN College GameDay at the Crestview Hills Town Center.
ESPN’s College GameDay Bus is headed to Northern Kentucky in advance of the UK vs. Florida basketball game. Beechwood will play pep band music for about 30 minutes. They will have giveaways, local celebrity UK Alumni signing autographs, and various other “surprises” at the event. In addition, NASH FM 94.1 will be broadcasting live. They are hoping to draw more than 2,000 people to the event. Friends and family are encouraged to attend.
ESPN College GameDay commentators Rece Davis, Jay Bilas, Seth Greenberg and Jay Williams, along with the production staff, use the bus for planning and preparation sessions and to relax between the Saturday morning show and evening telecasts.
The bus travels throughout the country and stops at all seven of the College GameDay sites. The bus will be open for guests to tour during Ashley Kennedy’s agency event.
The commentators will not be present.
Ashlee Kennedy will also hand the ball off for the State Farm Half-Court Shot Saturday morning.
