QuizWizards brings interactive fan engagement to over 40,000 fans at the Aer Lingus College Football Classic
QuizWizards brought live stadium fan engagement to the Aer Lingus College Football Classic at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on 29 August 2026, as TCU and North Carolina opened the US college football season in front of over 40,000 spectators.
Around 6,000 fans actively participated in QuizWizards games and live voting, with activations displayed across the stadium screens. With the pitch announcer encouraging participation, interactive games and live voting became part of the matchday experience.
Stadium fan engagement that puts supporters in control
One of the standout moments saw supporters vote live to choose the next stadium song. Fans selected Killeagh, with the result displayed across the Aviva screens before the winning song played around the stadium.
It was a simple idea with an immediate payoff: supporters could see their collective choice shape the atmosphere. Rather than being another message to watch, the activation gave fans something to do and a shared moment to enjoy.
The combination of big-screen prompts, mobile participation and the announcer’s involvement brought the experience together. Fans joined from their seats, while the live results connected individual responses to the wider crowd.
Bringing Kildare Village into the live fan experience
QuizWizards also powered an interactive Kildare Village activation, inviting supporters to scan the stadium-screen QR code and play for the chance to win a €500 Kildare Village gift card.
The activation showed how a sponsor can move beyond visibility and become part of the entertainment. A clear invitation to play, a relevant prize and a prominent place on the stadium screens gave supporters a reason to engage with the brand.
For event organisers and commercial partners, this is the opportunity behind stadium fan engagement: connecting the audience experience with sponsor participation in a way that feels part of the occasion.
