The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Legends have reached an agreement that makes Legends the exclusive hospitality rights partner at Raymond James Stadium, effective March 1.
Under terms of the multi-year partnership agreement, Legends will manage and operate the stadium’s general and premium concessions including, club level, Hall of Fame level, suites, special event catering and restaurant dining programs. Plans include the enhancement of food offerings throughout the stadium.
“We are very excited to partner with Legends as our exclusive hospitality rights partner,” said Brian Ford, Buccaneers Chief Operating Officer. “We continuously strive to provide our fans with best-in-class customer service and we value the vital role that food and beverage play in that game day experience. Legends has built its brand around a customer-focused approach and we have a shared commitment to provide fans with an unmatched level of food offerings and service at every Raymond James Stadium event moving forward.”
The Buccaneers and Legends will identify and develop unique food and beverage presentation concepts to further the Bucs vision of providing an elevated fan experience at all Raymond James Stadium events. A new point of sale system and digital menu boards are only two of the highlights of the fan-focused upgrades planned for the inaugural season of the partnership. In addition, Ford F-150 Hall of Fame Club and Mercedes-Benz Hall of Fame Club members will also benefit from a more robust “all inclusive” menu with the addition of beer, wine and spirits options included in the set ticket price.
“We are thrilled to partner with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,” Legends Chief Operating Officer, Mike Tomon, said. “The Bucs are a top-ranking NFL team in customer service experience satisfaction among season pass members. Working together with the Bucs, Legends will implement and execute an exceptional culinary showcase across the building to further elevate stadium events to offer fans a truly outstanding experience.”
Dan Smith, President of Legends’ Hospitality Division, added, “We strive each and every day to be the global leader in fan services and today’s announcement further demonstrates Legends commitment to achieve that objective with our new partners at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers organization.”
