08/19/2008
Mitsubishi Motors took over New Orleans during ArenaBowl XXII Championship Weekend on July 26-27, increasing fan interaction through various events and promotions, and handing out the keys to three new vehicles in the process.
Mitsubishi Motors presented Philadelphia Soul QB and ArenaBowl MVP Matt D'Orazio with the keys to a 2009 Solar Yellow Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT after he led his team to a 59-56 victory over the defending champion San Jose SaberCats, completing 26 of 43 pass attempts for 302 yards and seven touchdowns and rushing for a score.
Watching the game from the stands was 25-year-old Minnesota resident Ryan Boen, who received a 2009 Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart after winning the Grand Prize of the Mitsubishi Motors Drive to ArenaBowl Sweepstakes. Meanwhile, local Louisiana resident Robbie Rhodes won the Hole-in-One challenge at the ArenaBowl Golf Invitational, taking home a 2009 Solar Yellow Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT as well.
On July 26th, fans rocked out in the French Quarter at the Mitsubishi Motors ArenaBowl Extravaganza concert, as local musicians opened up the show for two-time Grammy winner Huey Lewis and The News. Mitsubishi Motors also held a child booster seat awareness event in conjunction with non-profit organization Kids Safety First at the AFL Kid Zone, offering parents important safety information and distributing coupons redeemable for free booster seats at local Mitsubishi car dealerships.
