Fans visiting TIAA Bank Field this NFL season can interact with any of these five robots throughout the stadium. To quench ones thirst, the Bud Light Party Zone has a bartending robot called Flo the beer pouring robot. In the Lower US Assure Club West, Lenny the Running Back Challenge can be tried by passing a handheld ring along a zigzagged route.

Later in the season, Cheer the robot on the Camp Grunt Style would be seen hoisting the Jaguars flag to celebrate every time they score a touchdown. The robot team Jax and Jill in the US Assure Club West lobby will be waiting to welcome the fans with a special message.

“We’re excited to add another partner who supports our philosophy of bringing first-of-its-kind activations to the stadium experience,” said Scott Massey, Senior Vice-President of corporate partnerships, Jaguars. “FANUC is a leader in automation and we’re thrilled for FANUC robots to engage with Jaguars fans on game day, from serving fans Bud Lights, to competing against them in a fun skills challenge, to waving a Jaguars flag celebrating big moments on the field.”
