Narrative:
We were taxiing on the ramp to our gate on sunday. The ground crew came running out of operations to park us. All appeared normal as taxied on the stripe at a conservative speed according to our guideman's signal. #1 and #4 engines were shut down. Suddenly, the nose of the aircraft veered left. The guideman signaled to stop and shut down the engines. To our surprise, the #1 engine had impacted the jetbridge. Upon securing the engine and inspecting the damage the ground crew revealed the jetbridge was out of position for arriving aircraft. Concentration on the job of parking the aircraft and ensuring clearance rather than on the football game may well have prevented this occurrence.
