STANFORD, Calif. (Oct. 1, 2025) – Levy, the sports and entertainment hospitality leader, has teamed up with Stanford University Athletics to transform the game day experience at Cardinal athletic venues beginning this fall. Levy will curate the food and beverage experience across athletic venues, including Stanford Stadium, Maples Pavilion and the nearly completed new Softball Stadium, ranging from concessions to premium hospitality, and catering for special events.

Working together, Levy and Stanford will shape innovative new fan experiences that honor the university’s tradition of excellence on and off the field, and create new opportunities for Bay Area businesses on Cardinal game days.    

“Levy has approached our partnership with an extraordinary appetite for collaboration and a deep appreciation for what makes Stanford special,” Alden Mitchell, Stanford Athletics’ Chief Operating Officer said. “Their experience across a broad array of venues and their commitment to providing best-in-class service will serve Cardinal fans well, and I am thrilled to see this partnership come to life.”

“Stanford’s combination of academic and athletic excellence puts the university in rare air - it’s truly one the nation’s most legendary programs,” said Andy Lansing, CEO of Levy. “We’re proud to help Stanford propel the fan experience forward in innovative new ways, while honoring the university’s rich traditions. The Cardinal spirit will shine through with great-tasting food and championship caliber hospitality.”

The partnership kicks-off with Levy crafting a new game day hospitality experience at Stanford Stadium for football season. Fans can look forward to:

• A curated selection of local restaurants and purveyors in concessions that taps into Levy’s deep roster of partnerships throughout the Bay Area
• New technology integrations at food and beverage destinations for faster, more convenient ordering and checkout
