National Football League Championship Game No. 1 Michigan State, No. 2 Washington is the venue for Monday night. In fact, Kirk Herbstreit calls a private box at NRG Stadium in Houston “a habitable box.”

That’s because former NBA superstar Michael Jordan, New York Yankees Hall of Famer Derek Jeter, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith and singer/songwriter Travis Scott were all hanging out during the CFP in Houston.

ESPN’s Chris Fowler called the box “the ideal place.” Jordan Brand’s Jumpman has been part of Michigan’s program for years.
Jeter also wore a Michigan sweatshirt. In 2016, Michigan signed a 15-year, $174 million deal with Nike and Jordan Brand.
This historic partnership makes the Wolverines the first football team to wear Jumpman uniforms and shoes. Jeter received a baseball scholarship to play at Michigan State.
Fans reacted as follows:
Michael Jordan. Stephen A. Smith. Derek Jeter.
