The First Tier prize package also includes airfare, hotel and game tickets, as well as entrance to the UOAA tailgate party, ground transportation, and meals. Fifteen Second Tier winners will receive admission for themselves and a guest to the End Zone hospitality event at the October 18 Homecoming Game at Autzen (includes game tickets). A total of 250 Third Tier winners will receive a 2014 Oregon Football Yearbook.
