The Goodyear Blimp began flying over games in 1955 offering aerial coverage for college football and floating above major sporting and entertainment events more than 2,000 times since then.
Included in the Goodyear-Airbnb joint offer is access to the 2.6 football-field-sized hangar, a football lounge, a fully-equipped lakefront tailgate spot, tickets to the University of Michigan game, and official college football gear.

Goodyear and Airbnb will be donating $5,000 to the Cotton Bowl Foundation to celebrate this event. The funds are meant to support the organization’s goal of impacting college football players for the better.
Reporting on the Airbnb offering, FOX Business’ Cheryl Casone noted, “the disappointing part of this story is you don’t get to go up in the blimp.”
