BH-BL Students Attend New York Jets Sports Business Day
Students in Anna Watkins’ Sports Marketing & Management class at BH-BL High School were in for a real treat earlier this month when they took a field trip to MetLife Stadium–home of the New York Jets football team–to attend Sports Business Day.
Students experienced an in depth behind-the-scenes tour of MetLife Stadium where they got to see the various locations around the stadium, such as the Jets’ locker room, corporate suites, upscale private club spaces, press boxes and they even got to walk out on the field.
“Students heard from a multitude of Jets employees who shared valuable school, internship, and career advice,” adds Watkins.
They also learned about numerous career opportunities on the business side of the sports industry, including the fields of marketing, finance, fan experience, ticket sales, community and public relations, sports reporting, multimedia and digital media, and corporate partnerships.
