The client

The College Football Playoff crowns the national champion of the sport’s top division, a title decided on the field since the 2015 inaugural game, when the bracket replaced the old Bowl Championship Series. The game lands in a different city each year, awarded by competitive bid, and the host wraps it in a full weekend of fan events: headline concerts, hospitality, and family activations. The editions here ran in Miami, which hosted in 2021 and again in 2026, and in Atlanta, host in 2025.

The challenge

Cover several distinct activations on one championship weekend, each with its own gates and entry rules, while keeping concert-scale crowds moving.

Our approach

At CFP House and Playoff Playlist Live, wrstSCN ran on NTR-6 portals and handhelds for a 10,000-person concert, with ticketing handled in-house for Taste of the Championship. Playoff Fan Central ran on eight handhelds and a custom white-labeled digital waiver system.

The results

Across multiple championship weekends (including a 50,000+ person Playoff Playlist Live in Houston), WRSTBND managed every gate without incident, processing crowds at concert scale while simultaneously running credentialed hospitality and fan-activation waivers on the same weekend.
