Oklahoma City, Okla., and Chicago (January 28, 2026) — OKC for Soccer, the exciting project bringing the next level of professional soccer to Oklahoma City, today named Levy, the world’s leading sports hospitality experience company, as the founding Hospitality and Concessions Partner for the new MAPS 4 Multipurpose Stadium in downtown Oklahoma City.

The parties will begin working together immediately to help inform the current design phase. Ultimately, the partnership will see Levy deliver a diverse set of world-class hospitality experiences — with a decidedly Oklahoma flavor. Levy is committed to collaborating with local chefs and eateries to curate locally crafted and inspired dining options, and premium club and suite experiences to thrill fans throughout the stadium. In addition, Levy will utilize cutting-edge technology, industry-leading data and analytics, and superb guest relations to ensure smooth and efficient service for all fans.

“OKC for Soccer is thrilled to welcome Levy to our fast-growing movement,” said Court Jeske, President of OKC for Soccer. “We plan to have the busiest outdoor stadium in America, hosting everything from soccer to football to concerts to rodeo, and we want to ensure that anyone who walks through the gates feels right at home and has a memorable experience. Levy’s track record of making that happen is second to none. We lookforward to working with them on creating delicious food options and unique premium experiences that leverage the best practices from around the world while staying true to OKC.”

"We've had the pleasure of witnessing the Oklahoma City community passionately unite in celebration around its teams, so it’s an honor to help bring this landmark new stadium to an already flourishing downtown district," said Andy Lansing, CEO of Levy. "This multipurpose stadium will not only be an incredible soccer venue, but also help attract and host a wide array of events at the highest-level. This is a special collaboration opportunity, and we can't wait to get started."

Levy is the market leader in sports and entertainment hospitality, serving fans at iconic and new venues across the globe, including Chicago’s Wrigley Field, Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Locally, Levy has been a tremendous partner of the OKC Thunder, since the team launched in 2008, and leads the hospitality experience in Norman, Okla., for the Oklahoma Sooners.

OKC’s new professional men’s soccer team will kick off in 2028, competing in the USL Championship, the highest tier of the United Soccer League pyramid. The club’s ownership group is led by principal owner Christian Kanady, founding partner and CEO of Echo Investment Capital, who is leveraging Echo’s Connective Capital model to assemble a powerhouse coalition of athletes, operators, and community leaders to build a sustainable, world-class soccer club in Oklahoma City.

The MAPS 4 Multipurpose Stadium, which will be managed by Echo, will anchor a new multi-use cultural district that will unify downtown Oklahoma City from the city center to the river. The development, which will be one of the largest downtown districts created to date, will be within easy walking distance of the new OKC Thunder arena, the convention center, Bricktown, and Scissortail Park.
