West Houston Hotel Volunteers
We recommend you print this document and keep with the email containing your shift times
Over a million guests and visitors will be travelling to Houston to absorb and enjoy the
festivities surrounding Super Bowl LI. Whether a hotel guest has a game ticket or not, Hotel
Volunteers will have the opportunity to host those traveling in for the week of Super Bowl. You
have been assigned to a specific hotel where you will be the ambassador for the Host
Committee to inform guests about all Houston has to offer and all the pre-game festivities! You
will meet your Captain at each shift and will be placed in the lobby of the respective hotel you
are assigned. So, get ready to give our guests a BIG Houston welcome!
