Reno Aces Partner with Levy Restaurants

Reno, Nev. - March 18, 2009 - The Reno Aces announced today a partnership with Levy Restaurants, the leader in premium sports and entertainment dining, for food and beverage operations at Aces Ballpark. Levy Restaurants will be introduced to fans during the team's April 17 home opener.

Chicago-based Levy Restaurants is a James Beard and Ivy Award-winning restaurant company that transformed dining at major sporting and entertainment venues across the country. Levy was recently named one of the top 10 most innovative companies in sports by Fast Company magazine.

Aces fans can expect traditional ballpark fare, as well as upscale menu items, throughout the concession stands, premium seating areas, 22 suites and two party suites. Levy will also provide catering for hospitality areas including Kids Zone and Baseball Mountain, in addition to all non-baseball events at the ballpark.

"One of the most important aspects to the Minor League Baseball experience is the food selection," said SK Baseball Managing Partner Stuart Katzoff. "We're thrilled to have this partnership with Levy. I think fans are going to be blown away by the quality of the food service at our ballpark."

Aces Ballpark, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks' Triple-A affiliate, is just the first phase of an entire planned entertainment area in Reno. The ballpark will be the anchor of an exciting Freight House District that includes retail, dining and nightlife venues.

"This new ballpark and the surrounding development are nothing short of phenomenal and we are so excited to be a part of it," said Andy Lansing, Levy Restaurants president and CEO. "Our Levy team can't wait to welcome Aces fans to the park to experience our food and hospitality. Great food and great baseball in a gorgeous setting - that's definitely a magical combination"

Levy Restaurants is a familiar face to baseball fans, also providing food and hospitality at Wrigley Field (home of the Chicago Cubs); U.S. Cellular Field (home of the Chicago White Sox); Dodger Stadium (home of the LA Dodgers); PNC Park (home of the Pittsburgh Pirates); Chase Field (home of the Arizona Diamondbacks); Nationals Park (home of the Washington Nationals); Drillers Stadium (home of the Tulsa Drillers); Ripken Stadium (home of the Aberdeen IronBirds); and Haymarket Park (Lincoln Saltdogs).
