Philadelphia Eagles And Aramark Renew Lincoln Financial Field Food & Beverage Partnership
New Menu Items Unveiled for 2015 Season
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Philadelphia Eagles and Aramark, the team's longtime food and beverage provider, have announced a seven-year extension of its partnership at Lincoln Financial Field. Aramark, which has been a partner with the Eagles since 2005, will continue to oversee and manage the concessions, club levels, suites and restaurant dining areas at Lincoln Financial Field.
"Headquartered here in Philadelphia, Aramark has long been a partner of ours and we are pleased to continue our relationship with them," said Eagles President Don Smolenski. "Aramark has embraced every initiative at Lincoln Financial Field and has worked alongside us on providing new and unique food and beverage options for Eagles fans. In addition, they have been instrumental in leading our commitment to sustainability by supporting every aspect of our Go Green program with recycling and composting."
"Eagles fans are among the most passionate in football and we are excited to continue our partnership with the Philadelphia Eagles to further enhance the game day experience at Lincoln Financial Field," said Carl Mittleman, President of Aramark's Sports and Entertainment division. "Lincoln Financial Field is consistently rated among the best stadiums in the NFL and we look forward to working with the Eagles to further innovate and elevate the food and beverage experience for fans."
Over the course of the partnership, the Eagles and Aramark have collaborated on a joint effort to showcase new and unique food and beverage options to fans every season, with a specific focus on Philadelphia's distinctive tastes and flavors. In 2013, the two sides partnered with renowned chefs and restaurateurs, including Marc Vetri and Peter McAndrews. Since then, fans have had the opportunity to choose from a variety of new meal options that feature each culinary partner's signature dishes and one-of-a-kind techniques.
Specialty options have also become a staple of the stadium's menu. Last season, Lincoln Financial Field unveiled new vegetarian and gluten-free choices, local favorites and an exclusive menu concept, Quick & Carmichael's BBQ, which honors the former Eagles Pro Bowlers. There is also a kosher menu option for fans. For the past five years, Lincoln Financial Field has ranked among the most vegetarian-friendly professional football stadiums.
