On September 10, the 2015 NFL season begins the road to Super Bowl 50 with what promises to be an exciting night of football. Will Tom Brady and the New England Patriots reign supreme once again? Can the Pittsburgh Steelers overcome their rash of injuries and suspensions? We can’t wait to find out!

To celebrate the start of the season, NFL Canada is hosting a Thursday Night Football Kickoff Party sponsored by Bud Light at The Ballroom (145 John St.) in the heart of Toronto’s entertainment district. Steelers Super Bowl champion and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Jerome “The Bus” Bettis will be on hand for the celebration, which is the first of eight Canadian stops on NFL Canada’s Thursday Night Football tour.

As if brushing shoulders with Bettis wasn’t enough, there will also be food and drink specials available and prizes given out throughout the night, including NFL New Era limited edition hats. One lucky winner will also walk away with a trip for two to Super Bowl 50 in San Francisco.
