Cheez Wheelz is bringing the stadium excitement to pre-game festivities as it travels through two iconic Big 10 and SEC towns leading up to the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl in Orlando.

“Building on the success of the Cheez-In Diner’s absurdly craveable dishes, we knew we had to bring that experience to tailgates where Cheez-It is already a fan favorite football-watching snack,” said Cara Tragseiler, Senior Brand Director for Cheez-It.

The “Cheez Wheelz” truck will be at the Ohio State vs. Penn State game in University Park, PA, on Nov. 2 and the Tennessee vs. Georgia game on Nov. 16 in Athens, Ga.

Here is the menu of items that will be served:
