They will meet and greet guests of Club SI during the 152^nd running of the Longines Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve on Friday, May 1 and Saturday, May 2, respectively.

Club SI, a multi-year exclusive partnership between Churchill Downs and Sports Illustrated, debuted in 2024, timed to Churchill's 150^th anniversary of the Kentucky Derby. The dining space offers guests a modern, sophisticated race day experience as part of the racetrack's $200 million reimagined Paddock Project.

Burleson is an NFL alumnus, television host and entrepreneur who has become one of the most recognizable personalities in sports and entertainment broadcasting. A former wide receiver, currently a co-host of CBS Mornings and the host of Hollywood Squares, Burleson is also an analyst on The NFL Today on CBS and co-host of NFL Slimetime on Nickelodeon. Known for his dynamic on-air presence and versatility across sports, news and entertainment, Burleson continues to build a growing career as a media personality and entrepreneur.

Club SI at Churchill Downs is the first permanent Club SI venue, but it is part of a larger push by Sports Illustrated to bring premium, fan-first hospitality to the world's biggest sporting events. Club SI is designed to immerse guests in the energy and culture of race day through elevated dining, high-touch service, and behind-the-scenes access overlooking the Paddock and Paddock Runway. The design of the space reinforces that connection, with iconic Sports Illustrated covers and editorial imagery from historic Kentucky Derby moments woven throughout, alongside a glimpse into the brand's new SI Resorts vertical. Together, the experience underscores how Sports Illustrated extends its authority beyond media and into live environments that give fans closer access to the moments, settings, and stories that define sports culture.

Club SI is open on premium race days throughout the year at Churchill Downs. Guests have the option to book dining tables, indulge in gourmet dishes from the curated Chef's Table Buffet, visit dedicated wagering windows and private bars, and enjoy outdoor trackside viewing for live races. Steps from the club, guests are treated to the SI Enclosure, which delivers a front-row experience of the Paddock with covered outdoor dining tables.
