The competition is part of the city's Super Bowl Week festivities and is hosted by Marriott Bonvoy and Courtyard by Marriott. Kelce is the brand's first-ever "Fanbassador." 

Five of the most passionate NFL fan duos in America were challenged to be the first team to find the real Jason Kelce in a sea of Kelce look-alikes spread throughout the French Quarter.

Participants in the contest were tasked with locating the real Kelce amongst the sea of doppelgängers, all wearing matching yellow letterman jackets, blue jeans and bushy beards.
