WHAT'S IT LIKE?

First, it's a lot of fun... sports are fun! They're also a lot of work. We'll point you in the right direction, and you'll be given a lot of responsibility and you'll own your area. You'll help build amazing events for our community. You'll make great connections and learn a lot about the sports business.

Let's talk about the time commitment. Depending on the role, it may require more than eight hours of work in a given day, particularly event days. All interns work every home game. Depending on the role, you may have some non-game day hours (some remote), and you may cover training sessions (as needed).

These internships are best suited for students who can get college credit and/or who are looking to get their foot in the door in the extremely competitive sports industry.
