Jive Turkeys: play for the encore.

Charlie Petrik runs the Jive Turkeys with the energy of a road-tested rock-and-roll frontman. Based in Sparks, Nevada, he is a dedicated concertgoer whose love of live music shapes the franchise identity: turn it up, trust your instincts, and never leave before the encore. After a 3–12 campaign in 2025, Charlie enters Season Five treating the rebuild like a comeback tour—with a fresh set list and nothing to lose.

Away from the fantasy gridiron, Charlie’s world revolves around music and Montana. The concert floor is his natural habitat, while Big Sky Country is where he resets and reconnects. He also proudly embraces 420 and cannabis culture, bringing an easygoing, independent spirit to a front office that has never been interested in following the crowd.

The Jive Turkeys defend Rocking the Free World Stadium, a 90,000-seat open-air celebration of football, freedom, and live music nestled inside a Montana mountain valley. A colossal electric-guitar statue guards the entrance beside tributes to Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell, while the retractable end-zone stage turns the venue into a premier festival ground when football is off the calendar. Under the Big Sky, every home game is built to shake the mountains and play for the encore.
