Fanatics Fest NYC brought together an epic lineup of sports legends and celebs for some seriously cool panels, demos, games, and beats.
In a heartwarming moment, NFL GOAT Tom Brady made magic happen during a special meet-up with 12-year-old superfan Axton Robertson, set up through Fanatics’ ongoing collab with Make-A-Wish. Axton and two other Make-A-Wish kids kicked things off with an exclusive shopping spree. While Axton’s dream was meeting Brady, another kid got to hang with music superstar Travis Scott, and the third had an unforgettable time at Fanatics Fest.
The iconic The 40/40 Club made its comeback for year two, popping up right in the heart of Fanatics Fest NYC, partnering with Fanatics Sportsbook.
Meta and Oakley, along with Michael Rubin, Tom Brady, and Travis Scott, dropped their latest tech breakthrough—the AI-powered Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses—during a special panel at The Theater. Travis Scott wrapped things up with a surprise performance that had everyone going wild to his biggest hits.
Tom Brady crushed the Fanatics Games, with fan Matt Dennish and Eli Manning rounding out the top spots. During the games, Brady went full WWE and ripped Manning’s jersey in half during the Walkout Challenge, leading to Manning jumping on Brady’s back. Meanwhile, Gronk showed everyone he’s got hidden hockey skills, while Bryce Young and CJ Stroud battled it out in NBA’s Around the World challenge.
