Budweiser and Bud Light have selected Snoop Dogg and rock group 3 Doors Down to perform at its invitation-only concerts on Feb. 3 and 4 in Detroit.
Snoop’s night is Feb. 3 and will take place at Tiger Stadium (a.k.a. “The Corner”), the old home of the Detroit Tigers before the team moved to Comerica Park following the 1999 season. Both shows begin at 8:30 p.m. and will take place on the infield in Tiger Stadium, enclosed in a 132-foot by 230-foot climate-controlled expo hall.
Budweiser’s concerts precede the Super Bowl, which takes place on Feb. 5 in Detroit and will be broadcast on ABC. The beer company has purchased 10 30-second spots during the NFL championship telecast, including the plush first ad following opening kickoff
“The Bud Bowl events at Tiger Stadium will allow our friends in Detroit to experience 'The Corner' one more time and will provide top entertainment perfect for a championship weekend," stated Phil Kazer, region vice president, Anheuser-Busch. "Our company is also excited to give Detroit sports fans a rare glimpse of Tiger Stadium, one of sports greatest venues, by reopening it during this historic weekend."
