Bud Light's Football Fan Camp Competition Comes to the 'Burgh

The chance for two men and two women to represent Pittsburgh at the 2012 Pro Bowl is at stake.

The Bud Light Fan Camp is coming to Pittsburgh on Saturday, Oct. 22, and football fans who can prove their mettle in a variety of Bud Light-themed challenges will win a trip to the 2012 Pro Bowl in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Jan. 29, where they will compete for the title of Bud Light Fan Camp Champ.

At this rather unorthodox football competition, teams of four people (two men and two women) will kick footballs through inflatable uprights, try to hit passing targets, catch footballs launched from a cannon, play a game of flag football and even flaunt their skills in Madden NFL 12.

The Bud Light Fan Camp's stop in Pittsburgh—at the Greentree SportsPlex from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday—is one of 60 stops nationwide.

Teams will earn points during each Fan Camp event, and the top teams will advance to the subsequent round to compete for Pittsburgh's championship. The winning team will receive a trip to the 2012 Pro Bowl and the opportunity to represent Pittsburgh at the Bud Light Fan Camp finals at Aloha Stadium the day after the Pro Bowl.

Competitors must be at least 21 years old, and each team must have two men and two women.
