Although fans may not be able to celebrate with players in the stadium for the time being, Bud Light, the [NFL](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tailgate-candle) and [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lays-golden-grounds) are looking to make celebrates more meaningful with the addition of the Bud Light Showtime Cam.

Set to make its debut during the very first game of the 2020 NFL season on September 10th, fans will be able to celebrate with their favorite players through the Bud Light Showtime Cam. Players will be encouraged to interact with fans through the dedicated camera, offering them a glimpse of what their team celebrations really look like—making for a more engaging and meaningful viewing experience.

Ian Trombetta, SVP of [Social & Influencer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/club-rest-stop) Marketing for the NFL, spoke to the initiative by saying, "This is a way for us to
connect our loyal fans together with our players on Twitter during the game, enabling the exhilaration of big moments
to be celebrated from anywhere."
