Chevron Becomes Corporate Sponsor for New Orleans Super Bowl

The New Orleans Super Bowl Host Committee has announced Chevron as one of its major corporate sponsors.

The announcement that Chevron was on board and will serve as the Host Committee’s volunteer services partner was made during the “Wednesdays at the Square” concert series at Lafayette Square.

As part of the announcement, officials with Chevron, the Host Committee and New Orleans Saints, said they are also kicking off a drive to find 8,000 volunteers for the Super Bowl.

“Chevron is committed to supporting the communities where we live and operate and our volunteer program title partnership for Super Bowl XLVII is an excellent example of that commitment, Warner Williams, the vice president of Chevron North America Exploration and Production Company Gulf of Mexico Business Unit.

Mayor Mitch Landrieu helped ignite the crowd of about 2,500 at Lafayette Square by taking a shot at ESPN radio personality Colin Cowherd, who blasted New Orleans and questioned why so many major sporting events come to the city.

“I was listening to that guy and I couldn’t really believe that he said that,” Landrieu said. “Maybe he doesn’t believe that the city of New Orleans has hosted more Super Bowls than any city in America except Miami.”
