Long-time Dallas Cowboys fan Rudy Loza was already in football heaven. Then the team and the NFL kicked it up a notch.

Loza, who is a middle school PE teacher and athletic director at San Antonio’s St. Luke Catholic School, was invited along with his wife Erika to attend the Cowboys’ game against the Rams.

At the game, the Loza’s were surprised with a pre-game on-field experience. That’s when the long-time coach was presented with Super Bowl tickets by former Cowboys player Chad Hennings.

Loza previously worked for the U.S. Air Force as a civilian instructor. Hennings, an Air Force veteran, thanked Loza for his service as both a coach and Air Force instructor.

The NFL is celebrating its 100th season by surprising inspiring, long-time fans around the country with tickets to Super Bowl LIV in Miami.
