Corona and Sue Bird Maximize Game Day Fandom With a New Collaboration

The iconic Mexican beer and the legendary hooper team up to create the Finer Recliner, a limited-edition Adirondack chair with signature upgrades to enhance game day viewing


CHICAGO, June 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corona and retired basketball star Sue Bird are offering fans a fresh new way to enjoy the fan life this sports season with the Finer Recliner, a limited-edition Adirondack chair that features upgrades to maximize game day viewing. As Sue’s 21-season career ends, the iconic Mexican beer wanted to help her coast into retirement in comfort and offer fans a chance to get in on the relaxation.

The Finer Recliner marries Corona’s signature laid-back beach vibes with several Sue-approved upgrades to enhance comfort and style while watching sports events from home. The Finer Recliner’s custom elements include a cooler discreetly embedded in the footrest that perfectly fits one six-pack of ice-cold Corona Extra; premium cushions for maximum comfort while watching the game, whether you’re reclining or on the edge of your seat; a magnetic bottle opener under the armrest to catch and release your bottle caps; a nothing-but-net hoops-inspired cupholder; a wireless speaker; and a brass nameplate engraved with Sue’s signature and a limited-edition number.

“For the first time in a long time, I am putting my feet up and enjoying games as a fan. And you know I had to have Corona create a custom Finer Recliner to do that. Safe to say, I am enjoying the retired life,” Sue said.

Being a sports fan can be an intense experience, but being a Corona sports fan is different. Fans of the fine life embody a deep love of the game and can find something to cheer for within every moment, regardless of the score. Today through Wednesday, June 14, consumers can enter for a chance to win one of five Finer Recliners by commenting on @CoronaUSA’s sweepstakes post on Instagram with @SBird10, #CoronaFinerRecliner and #Giveaway.
