The package includes a full tailgate with Plummer and some his former teammates, along with pregame sideline access, seating in the lower bowl of Sports Authority Field and a signed football, among other perks.
A limited number of “Game Day with the Snake” packages will be available for purchase beginning at 8 a.m. Friday on the Realm of Caring’s website. ()
For those already with tickets to the Nov. 19 game, there are also a limited number of “Tailgate with the Snake” packages to join Plummer in a private party before kickoff.
Plummer and Realm of Caring, which provides educational resources and promotes research for cannabis, to raise money and awareness. Plummer, , has pushed for the allowance of cannabidiol (CBD), a compound in cannabis that is found to have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties and is believed to be safer than habit-forming opioids players often receive from teams.
The funds raised from the Game Day experiences will go toward research of cannabinoids’ potential benefits in treating pain as well as the symptoms of traumatic brain injuries and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
