The tallest trophy at bigten Media Days? That’s right, it was ours. ☺️ And it was our smaller stunt double!

Swipe 📲 to learn more about this work of art!

Created in 2002, the trophy was designed by Molina Fine Jewelers after the Fiesta Bowl set out to create a championship trophy unlike any other in college football. ✨🏆

The actual vrbo #FiestaBowl Trophy stands 46 inches tall and weighs 200 pounds! 💪🏆

The trophy features a removable football made of 18-karat gold with 2,187 pavé-set diamonds. 🤩💎

The trophy's eight sterling silver football players were designed by Todd McFarlane. The players at the base support the trophy, while the players at the top protect the championship football. 🏈

Look closely at the base and you'll find a compass. 🧭 It represents the path players take not only through the game, but throughout life.

Every detail has meaning. 🌸 The lotus-shaped dome symbolizes the purity, strength, power and heart of the champions, while the Greek word for the Goddess of Victory is engraved just below it.

This masterpiece took more than 3,000 hours to create and was brought to life by a team of 12 craftsmen using marble, granite, sterling silver, gold, lapis lazuli and custom LED lighting. 💡✨

Only one team will take home the vrbo #FiestaBowl Trophy this season... 👀

Who do you think will be lifting it next? 🏆🏈
