In addition, a new space within the Garden called the Pepsi Fan Deck will be created, and Pepsi will be a big part of the Radio City Music Hall’s Christmas Spectacular and sponsor Jingleball, the rock concert presented during the holidays by radio station Z-100. It’s also possible that players on the Rangers and Knicks may become endorsers of Pepsi’s Gatorade and Mountain Dew brands.
