As if you needed another reason to be in Brookings on Saturday for the USD-SDSU football game, here is one: Former 'N Sync singer Joey Fatone will lead the "world's largest pillow fight."

The event, which is sponsored by Super 8, will take place at the end of the first quarter. According to a news release, Fatone will throw the first pillow, and the rest of the fight will occur in the grandstands.

Prizes will be given out, and participants have an opportunity to keep the pillow or donate it to charity.

Kickoff for the game is at 2 p.m. at Couglin-Alumni Stadium.

The event commemorates Super 8's 40th anniversary. The company's first hotel opened in South Dakota in 1974.

According to GuinnessWorldRecords.com, the world's largest pillow fight consisted of 3,813 participants in 2013 in Chicago.
