Hague and Caruso Partnership Unveils First Completed Sports Project
Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) September 03, 2015 -- Des Hague, co-founder of Aegis Enterprises, LLC., is pleased to announce that University of Cincinnati's Nippert Stadium is the first project to be completed since forming a strategic partnership with William Caruso & Associates, Inc. (WC&A) a month ago.
"It is exciting to have completed the first project and on such an iconic venue. It is awesome to be back in the hospitality business,” states Des Hague. “It is an exciting space and the fans will be very pleased with the wonderful food service options WC&A has put in place. I have the utmost confidence in WC&A’s ability to exceed fan’s food service expectations and have never been more excited about driving growth."
The Capacity of 91-year-old Nippert Stadium has been increased from 35,097 to about 40,000 during this major $86 million renovation. UC has been playing football at that campus location since 1901, making it the second-oldest college football site in the nation behind only Penn's Franklin Field.
With a food service budget of about $1.4 million, many upgrades were implemented. The stadium brought in all-new offerings of high-quality, local foods that stray from the traditional hot dog and nachos typically associated with sporting events. New menu offerings include New England Clam Chowder, crab cakes, pulled pork, sausage and pepper sandwiches, Philly cheese steak sandwiches and Jambalaya, just to name a few.
"We've made major changes to give fans the elevated, hospitality-centric service and experience they deserve and expect," said Steve Young, WC&A's Partner and Director of Design. "The fresh, tasty and healthy food offerings are relevant and celebrate the local heritage. We are confident that the completely overhauled service approach will deliver one-of-a-kind hospitality and be sure to excite the fans."
Opening game Cincinatti Bearcats vs. Alabama A&M - Saturday, Sept. 5, 7 PM.
