NerdWallet, a personal finance platform, has partnered with Alejandro Bedoya, the Philadelphia Union's team captain, for the Smart Finances: DOOP Sweepstakes. NerdWallet offers Philadelphians the chance to celebrate their financial decisions and win big prizes.
The viewing party includes a catered game-watching experience at Suabaru Park with Philadelphia Union mascot Phang for the July 13th away game against Toronto FC. Each guest receives a cash prize for every Philadelphia Union save during the game. Other prizes include limited-edition Philadelphia Union x NerdWallet merch (fanny pack and scarf), and $500 cash prizes for a randomly selected entrant for every Philadelphia Union save.
The DOOP is a unique tradition in Philadelphia Union culture. It started as a chant after every team goal, and it has now become a term to celebrate anything positive about the team.
