Jordyn Tramble manager of host committee events

Jordyn Tramble is the Manager of Host Committee Events for the Tampa Bay Super Bowl LV Host Committee. Her main focus will be the management and production of the Host Committee’s portion of Super Bowl Experience. She will also assist in overseeing operations and production of several other key Host Committee events throughout the Tampa Bay area. Tramble joined the Tampa Bay Sports Commission as the organization’s Creative Specialist in November of 2017 focusing on graphic design, content creation, as well as web/digital/social and email marketing.

In your position as the Manager of Super Bowl LV Host Committee Events, a huge part of your role is in managing and producing Super Bowl Experience presented by Lowe’s, the NFL’s fan festival along the Riverwalk downtown. What makes this footprint so unique in comparison to past cities? Much like the rest of our Host Committee staff, I will wear multiple hats when it comes to Super Bowl responsibilities; however, my main focus will be planning, managing and ultimately producing the Host Committee’s portion of Super Bowl Experience, the NFL’s largest sanctioned fan festival. As you can imagine, we’ve been working on the planning for Super Bowl Experience and other Host Committee events for over a year, so it’s very exciting to see some of the plans and ideas come to life now that the game is getting closer. For me, there’s a sense of thrill involved in navigating through the concept phase and getting to a point where the pieces are coming together to form what will be an incredible resume of events for both the visiting

fans and locals to enjoy. Tampa Bay is a special community, so I feel very lucky to be able to help make it shine on one of the biggest of stages in February.

As a part of the Host Committee’s social legacy initiative, Forever 55, you are helping chair the efforts dedicated to achieving systemic justice. What are the goals of the committee and how will they help influence transformational change and ultimately leave a lasting impact in our community? Tampa Bay’s resoLVe is an important addition to Forever 55 because it takes the first step towards progress. We can’t say that we care about our community yet ignore the cries of outrage all around us. By adding this pillar, we acknowledge the systemic injustice and structural racism that black and brown people have endured for years. The advisory committee is comprised of community leaders tasked with developing SMART goals and sustainable programming that can be adapted and used in future major visiting sporting events in the community. The overarching goal of this committee is be a part of the solution by not only continuing the conversation surrounding systemic injustice, but also using the platform provided by the Super Bowl to educate the Tampa Bay community on how together we can create positive, lasting change.

You have been a member of the Tampa Bay Sports Commission team for the past three years. What is your #1 goal when planning an event? What keeps you motivated to continue to bring and deliver world-class events to the Tampa Bay area? The Tampa Bay Sports Commission is all about elevation. How can we make something even better? That is one question that I ask myself before every event. Almost every major sporting event comes with ancillary events that the host committee is required to facilitate. Our goal is to take those existing events and make them more impactful, so much so that it leaves a positive lasting impression on both the Tampa Bay community and the visiting organization. We measure success based on whether or not an event returns and in my three years with the Sports Commission, we have hosted two major NHL events, a third NCAA Women’s Final Four, several other NCAA championships and now we’re four months from hosting our fifth Super Bowl. I’m motivated to continue the legacy that was started before me. It also helps to work with some of the best teammates I’ve ever had. #DreamTeam

What are you looking most forward to over the next four months as Tampa welcomes the area’s fifth Super Bowl to the region? I am really looking forward to watching our city’s picturesque scenery transform into a sprawling Super Bowl LV campus. Because of my background and passion for creative services, I can’t wait to witness the event décor takeover and the installation of larger-than-life signage throughout downtown bring the city to life. However, I’m most excited to see fans traverse the Riverwalk and take part in Super Bowl Experience presented by Lowe’s. Watching all of our hard work come to fruition and be enjoyed by visiting fans and locals alike genuinely puts a smile on my face and makes it all worth it.
