As for Grunt Style, we will be creating a one of a kind experience at EverBank Field dubbed "Camp Grunt Style" and will be located on the pool deck, where boot camp meets training camp. Fans will be able to compete in various events and have their names on the leaderboard as they compete against each other, military members and athletes alike via smartboard. The food will also be reminiscent of MREs (but definitely better tasting).[caption id="attachment_17343" align="alignnone" width="750"]
