Drillers Select Food Service Provider For ONEOK Field
It will be the first time that the Drillers and PSC have partnered on food service.
"PSC impressed us from the beginning with their hands-on ownership and management, innovative thinking, and specialization in Minor League Baseball," said Drillers General Manager Mike Melega. "We are confident that PSC can provide the best product possible and will allow us to focus on the other areas of the business to create an overall outstanding experience for our fans."
ONEOK Field is scheduled to open on April 8, 2010. The ballpark will feature over 6,000 fixed seats, 23 luxury suites, four private picnic venues and a conference center. Fans will be serviced by over fifty points of sale in both traditional concession stands and customized, specialty food carts. PSC will manage all aspects of the food operation, including catering and staffing.
"We are pleased to partner with the Drillers as they launch into this new and exciting chapter of their business," said Tom Dickson, Managing Partner of PSC. "ONEOK Field is going to be a beautiful ballpark and we feel that we will bring a high-quality food product and a top-notch level of service."
Professional Sports Catering, LLC, a full service food and beverage company, was launched in 2005 by Dickson and Sherrie Myers. Dickson and Myers, the highly successful owners of minor league baseball teams including the Lansing Lugnuts and the Montgomery Biscuits, started PSC to serve the needs of minor league baseball teams across the country. The PSC business model takes a fan friendly approach to food service, focusing on high quality, fresh, cooked-before-your-eyes food, and an almost obsessive level of customer service and partnership with its clients. With the addition of the Drillers, PSC now manages the food and beverage operations for seven minor league baseball teams, and is poised for significant future growth.
