An unforgettable night under the lights of the Caesars Superdome became even more special for Entergy Lineman of the Game Corvan Day, who was recognized during the New Orleans Saints’ Monday Night Football matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Oct. 5. Just before kickoff, the lights went down as a video of Day “flipping the switch” to light up the Dome was shown on the jumbotron and all the screens around the stadium.
As part of Entergy’s ongoing partnership with the New Orleans Saints, Day and his wife, Erin, received a VIP game-day experience celebrating the dedication and hard work of the men and women who help keep the lights on for customers across the Gulf South.
Before kickoff, Day explored Champions Square and the Superdome, taking in the excitement surrounding one of the NFL’s most anticipated rivalry games. The evening included exclusive field access, where he had the opportunity to stand on the Saints’ home turf and receive a commemorative football recognizing him as the Entergy Lineman of the Game.
Day is a dedicated Entergy lineworker who serves customers and communities, working out of the Natchez office. Known for a strong commitment to safety, teamwork and reliability, Day plays an important role in maintaining and restoring electrical service, particularly during severe weather and other critical events. Through daily work in the field, Day helps ensure homes, businesses and essential facilities have the power they need while exemplifying the values of service and excellence that define Entergy’s workforce.
At each New Orleans Saints homegame, an Entergy lineworker who demonstrates a strong commitment to safety, service and excellence in their work is recognized as the Lineman of the Game. Day’s contributions reflect the dedication shared by Entergy crews who work in all conditions to provide reliable power to the communities they serve.
The VIP experience also included access to the Saints’ Domecoming celebration, which commemorated the 20th anniversary of the reopening of the Superdome following Hurricane Katrina, and a special buffet of traditional New Orleans dishes. Day also met National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell, who was in New Orleans to join in the Domecoming celebration.
Throughout the evening, the Days enjoyed behind-the-scenes access to areas of the stadium not typically available to fans. Highlights included visits to premium hospitality areas, photos from field level, visits with members of the Saints organization, and a chance to experience the unique atmosphere that only Monday Night Football can provide.
As the crowd filled the Superdome and the Saints took the field, Day joined thousands of fans in cheering on the Black and Gold in one of the most electric environments in professional sports. The Saints are also celebrating their 60th anniversary season, so Saints fans had a lot be excited about as they made their way to their seats. Day and his wife watched the game from the Entergy suite, where he was congratulated by the Sir Saint mascot and serenaded by the Saints Brass Band, who played “When the Saints Go Marching In.”
The Lineman of the Game honor serves as a reminder that while football players receive recognition under the stadium lights, Entergy lineworkers are also everyday heroes, providing essential service and responding when communities need them most. Through long hours, challenging weather conditions and a steadfast commitment to customer service, they help power homes, businesses and entire communities across the region.
For Day, the evening was more than a football game. It was a well-deserved recognition of the great attitude he brings to the Natchez office, the skill he brings to every task and how he keeps safety first every day. He brings excellence to all he does, never expecting to be recognized in front of the passionate Saints fan base.
While the Saints came up short against the Falcons, 45-24, the outcome on the field did not diminish the excitement of the evening for Day, his wife or the enthusiastic Saints faithful who packed the Superdome for a memorable Monday Night Football showdown.
