The NFL and EA have teamed up to create a unique and exciting program to celebrate EA’s release of NFL Madden 11. The Event will feature 2 teams of 10 participants playing a modified flag football game on a special field in Malibu, CA. Each team will consist of 4 NFL alumni and 4 celebrities, and 2 current NFL players as coaches. For each participant on the winning team, the NFL will donate Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) to the charity of their choice.
The Event will run similar to a typical NFL game with a pregame, 4 quarters and a halftime show. There will be unique twists to the game with special scoring opportunities. The event will be taped and air on NBC and NFL network in mid-August.
