The coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy arrived on the scene in Las Vegas for Super Bowl LVIII on Wednesday via FedEx, the Official Delivery Service of the NFL. A FedEx Express delivery van transported the trophy to the Super Bowl Experience Presented by Toyota, officially marking the first time Las Vegas and the state of Nevada will welcome The Big Game, as the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers are set to square off on Sunday.

“FedEx is honored to be trusted with the delivery of the Vince Lombardi Trophy ahead of Super Bowl LVIII,” said Brian Philips, EVP, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at FedEx. “We make a lot of special deliveries at FedEx, and this is no exception. We’re proud to once again deliver one of sports most-coveted trophies.”

This year’s delivery featured a special trio of participants, including Bob Fini, a FedEx Express courier with 37 years of service and six Nevada State Truck Driving Championships, NFL Hall of Famer and 3x Super Bowl Champion, Jerry Rice, and FedEx-HBCU Student Ambassador, Chanelle Houston. Rice and Houston, who share a bond as Mississippi Valley State University (MVSU) alumni, had the honor of signing for the Vince Lombardi Trophy to officially welcome it to the Super Bowl Experience Presented by Toyota. Together, the duo showcased the trophy before inviting attendees to snap a photo with it.

Fans in the Las Vegas area can stop by and view the trophy up close at the Super Bowl Experience Presented by Toyota starting Wednesday, Feb. 7 – Saturday, Feb. 10 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. On Sunday, Feb. 11, it will be awarded to either the Kansas City Chiefs or San Francisco 49ers, commemorating the Super Bowl LVIII Champion for the 2023-2024 NFL season.

“Seeing the legendary Vince Lombardi Trophy up-close at Super Bowl Experience is a thrill for football fans across the country,” said Peter O’Reilly, NFL EVP of Club Business and League Events. “Our friends at FedEx ensure the trophy’s safe and timely delivery each year, which continues to be an essential part of Super Bowl Week.”

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
