ICYMI — T-Mobile is remodeling rural high school stadiums across the country for its Friday Night 5G Lights contest. After multiple rounds, only 16 finalists remain nationwide, and one of those lucky few is Crest Ridge High in Centerview, MO.

Each of the 16 finalists were granted $25,000 for making it this far. But the grand prize is much grander: $2 million. Here’s how it breaks down:

  • $100,000 grant for the school
  • Brand new weight room provided by Gronk Fitness
  • New scoreboard
  • Consultation with football field experts
  • 5G network upgrades
  • A tailgate party featuring a drone show

Want to help the Cougars win a new den? It’s easy. The school with the most likes on its Instagram post will take home the prize. Currently, the Cougars are in third place so get those thumbs moving.
