Dragon Seats, Liberty Mutual and Nashville Sports Council Expand Sideline Partnership for 2026 Liberty Mutual Kickoff Game

Published

on

Following a successful activation at the 2025 Liberty Mutual Music City Bowl, Liberty Mutual will again sponsor Dragon Seats’ climate-controlled benches and Dragon ShadERs — this time across both sidelines for the season-opening matchup between Ole Miss and Louisville

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Following the success of their sideline activation at the 2025 Liberty Mutual Music City Bowl, Dragon Seats and Liberty Mutual are expanding the partnership for the 2026 Liberty Mutual Kickoff Game at Nissan Stadium. Liberty Mutual will serve as the exclusive sponsor of Dragon Seats’ climate-controlled benches and Dragon ShadERs across both Ole Miss and Louisville sidelines for their season-opening matchup on Sunday, Sept. 6.

Dragon Seats’ climate-controlled benches and overhead Dragon ShadERs will provide both programs with a consistent, premium sideline environment designed to maximize player safety, performance and comfort. At the same time, integrated Liberty Mutual branding across the equipment will give the game’s title sponsor a distinctive, highly visible presence within the field of play.

The partnership was coordinated with the Nashville Sports Council, host of the event at Nissan Stadium, and brought together by Pivotal Sports and Entertainment.

“After seeing the impact of the Dragon Seats activation at last year’s Liberty Mutual Music City Bowl, we were excited to build on that success for the 2026 Kickoff Game,” said Jenna Lebel, Chief Marketing Officer of Liberty Mutual Insurance. “It expands Liberty Mutual’s presence within the game while aligning our brand with equipment designed to support the safety and performance of the student-athletes on both sidelines.”

“One of the things we’re always looking to do is build on partnerships and activations that work,” said Scott Ramsey, President and CEO of the Nashville Sports Council and Music City Bowl. “The response to Dragon Seats and Liberty Mutual at last year’s Music City Bowl gave us a great foundation, and expanding the concept across both sidelines for the Kickoff Game creates an even stronger experience for the participating teams, our partner and the event.”

“The best partnerships aren’t one-off activations — they create a platform that brands and properties want to build upon,” said Rob Temple, Chief Executive Officer of Pivotal Sports & Entertainment. “What started at the 2025 Liberty Mutual Music City Bowl proved the value of this inventory, and we’re proud to help expand it for another major event at Nissan Stadium.”

“For us, the most exciting part of this partnership is that Liberty Mutual experienced the platform firsthand at last year’s Music City Bowl and wanted to bring it back in an even bigger way,” said Franklin Floyd, Chief Operating Officer of Dragon Seats. “That validates what we believe this equipment can deliver — first and foremost for the athletes, by helping maximize safety and performance, but also for partners looking for an authentic and highly visible way to be part of the game. We’re excited to outfit both Ole Miss and Louisville and build on what we started together in Nashville last season.”

The Liberty Mutual-branded climate-controlled benches and Dragon ShadERs will debut when Ole Miss and Louisville open their 2026 seasons at the Liberty Mutual Kickoff Game on Sunday, Sept. 6, at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Oracle AI World — Oracle today announced Oracle Fusion Companion with Oracle Fusion Agentic Home, two new capabilities for Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications that transform how employees get work done. Fusion Companion provides an intelligent layer that understands business objectives and automatically selects and coordinates the appropriate transactions, workflows, approvals, AI agents, and agentic applications needed to execute work and achieve business outcomes. Users no longer need to know which application to navigate, which transaction to execute, which workflow or approval to initiate, or which AI agent to use. Fusion Companion determines how to get the work done while maintaining enterprise security, permissions, and controls. Users can access these capabilities through supported AI tools such as ChatGPT or through Oracle Fusion Agentic Home, the native AI experience within Oracle Fusion Applications.

“AI is changing where enterprise work begins, but organizations need to maintain control over how that work gets done,” said Chris Leone, executive vice president, Applications Development, Oracle. “Fusion Companion enables employees to define business objectives and execute work through the AI tools they already use, while Oracle Fusion provides the business context, execution capabilities, and enterprise controls needed to get that work done.

Fusion Companion can also leverage data and context from other enterprise systems and coordinate authorized actions across those systems, enabling work to be completed across applications while respecting established security, permissions, and controls. With Fusion Companion, organizations will be able to:

Simplify enterprise work: Helps employees achieve business outcomes by identifying the agents, applications, and business processes needed to complete their request.Accelerate business execution: Executes complex business work by coordinating specialized AI agents, business processes, and Fusion Agentic Applications, including Fusion Claw-powered applications that perform deep analysis, planning, simulation, optimization, and long-running execution across large volumes of enterprise data.Increase flexibility in how employees work: Enables users to work with Oracle Fusion Applications through supported AI tools such as ChatGPT and customer- or partner-built AI interfaces, while maintaining access to relevant business context and capabilities.Connect work across enterprise systems: Helps organizations coordinate activities across Oracle Fusion Applications, other cloud applications, enterprise content, data platforms, APIs, services, and third-party agents.Maintain enterprise security and accountability: Helps organizations execute AI-driven work within established identity, permissions, policies, and approval controls while keeping enterprise execution and accountability within Oracle Fusion Applications.

Oracle Fusion Agentic Home, supported by Fusion Companion, is a personalized, AI-native experience that enables users to define business objectives, delegate work to AI agents and agentic applications, and track progress through completion. With Fusion Agentic Home, organizations will be able to:

Simplify the employee experience: Enables users to express business objectives through a personalized, AI-native experience that automatically identifies and executes the appropriate work, without requiring users to navigate applications, initiate workflows, or select individual AI agents.Increase employee productivity: Helps users complete work faster by bringing together the information, AI agents, agentic applications, and business processes needed to achieve their objectives.Resolve business exceptions: Identifies the root causes of business exceptions, determines appropriate corrective actions, and executes authorized resolutions while escalating decisions that require human judgment.Enable governed delegation: Enables employees to delegate work to Oracle Fusion AI agents and agentic applications that execute within established enterprise permissions, policies, and approval controls, allowing employees to focus on business objectives, exceptions, and decisions requiring human judgment.
