About Us

Centerplate is North America’s Premiere Host. We have the combined experience, expertise and resources of over 125 locations throughout North America. Centerplate is the leading provider of services for corporate and public events, conventions, entertainment venues and sports facilities.
Centerplate is in the business of creating something special for major and minor league sports facilities, convention centers and entertainment venues. And for the fans and guests of these facilities.
For more than forty years, we’ve provided catering, concessions, management and merchandise services for some of the most prominent venues in North America.
But what we do best is to combine our culinary talent with our extensive event management expertise to ensure that every guest at every event is treated to a unique experience that can’t be duplicated anywhere else.
Concentrating specifically on the convention, and sports and entertainment industries, Centerplate’s proficiency in serving premier, high-volume facilities with the highest-quality cuisine is unmatched.
One element that has enabled us – and our clients – to succeed is our ability to understand and build on the uniqueness of each facility. We add local favorites to menus in suites and banquet rooms. We develop proprietary gourmet concessions that take stadium fare to unexpected levels. We design and produce one-of-a-kind merchandise for team stores and souvenir kiosks. Tailoring our services to suit each individual venue and its clientele is how we continually fulfill our commitment to create something special.
Centerplate has developed an exclusive system – our Culinary Leadership Network – that enables each of our partner venues to benefit from the collective talent and creativity of our entire culinary staff. We coordinate and encourage the sharing of ideas, techniques and award-winning recipes among our substantial community of chefs. Through this innovative network, we define standards, increase efficiencies, and upgrade menus and service. So the very best that our system has to offer is always available to each of our clients.
We’re extremely proud of our performance at high-profile, showcase events. When the very finest in food and service is demanded, Centerplate has performed exceptionally well – even under the pressure of serving thousands of guests. We’ve done it consistently, and we’ve done it often, at world-class events including nine Super Bowls, twenty-five World Series and nine Presidential Inaugural Balls.
