BRANDON, FL — Dick’s Sporting Goods is hosting the grand opening celebration of its new House of Sport store in Brandon on Oct. 31 to Nov. 2.

The new immersive House of Sport location at 686 Brandon Town Center Drive is more than 100,000 square feet. In addition to an assortment of products, there are a number of in-store experiences including a climbing wall, multiple golf bays with TrackMan simulators, and a multi-sport cage that can be used for baseball, softball, lacrosse, and soccer and give athletes an opportunity to try items while measuring and tracking their performance.

Irving, a running back, will appear at the store on Nov. 1, noon to 1:30 p.m. Meanwhile, Gronkowski, a former tight end, will appear Sunday, noon to 1:30 p.m.

Wristbands are limited for their appearances and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis when the store opens for each day’s visit. Wristbands are required to attend the appearance and meet the athletes.

The players will only sign cards provided by Dick’s. No outside items will be allowed.
