Shepherdstown, W.Va. native helps with 2025 Super Bowl Experience

SHEPHERDSTOWN, — Drake Sims, a Shepherdstown native, recently gained hands-on experience in sports management at the 2025 Super Bowl Experience, according to a community announcement. Sims was one of 15 Hiram (Ohio) College students who traveled to New Orleans from Feb. 5 to Feb. 10 to assist with various aspects of the event. Their responsibilities included fan engagement, ticket verification, red carpet management, activities management and wayfinding. The experience provided the students with an opportunity to learn about the intricacies of planning and managing a large-scale event like the Super Bowl. Andrew White, director of Hiram College's Scarborough School of Business & Communication and assistant professor of psychology and sport management, emphasized the significance of this experience for students pursuing a career in sports management. "This is a great addition to students' resumes. It doesn't get bigger than this in terms of singular large-scale sporting events, and practical experience matters a great deal in this field," White said. The opportunity allowed the students to network and engage with professionals in the sports industry, which is crucial for their future careers. The experience is expected to enhance their understanding of the dynamics of the sports industry and provide them with valuable insights into event management.
