Earthquakes agree food concessionaire deal

The San Jose Earthquakes have selected Ovations Food Services as the concessionaire for their new stadium, reports, www.sportspromedia.com/. Ovations, a subsidiary of the sports and entertainment firm Comcast-Spectacor, will handle all food services at the 18,000-seat ground, which is under construction adjacent to San Jose International Airport.

Set to open next year, the stadium will boast numerous concessions locations, including the largest outdoor bar in North America, as well as food trucks that will be located in the Epicenter Fan Zone.

"We are proud to announce our partnership with Ovations," said Earthquakes president Dave Kaval. "Serving fresh, high quality food was extremely important to us as we move into our stadium and they are an ideal partner for our new venue.

"They have proven to be innovators in the food service industry and together we look forward to providing a fresh approach to stadium concessions."

The Earthquakes become the second MLS franchise to partner with Ovations, which already operates the concessions at the Philadelphia Union's PPL Park.

"We are extremely excited to be opening our second MLS stadium, and look forward to bringing a very diverse and exciting menu to this new state-of-the-art soccer stadium," said the company's executive vice president Charlie Neary.
