The New York Mets and Hyundai Motor America today announced a
multi-year partnership for naming rights to the Hyundai Club at Citi
Field, putting the spotlight on the Hyundai brand in the New York area
as it continues to launch new vehicles and attract more customers.
The
Hyundai Club, formerly known as the Champions Club, is an all-inclusive
premium seating area located on the field level behind home plate with
660 seats spanning to the dugouts. The gourmet buffet includes a daily
chef selection of carved meats and pasta and unlimited non-alcoholic
beverages. A selection of peanuts, popcorn, fresh baked cookies and ice
cream are also available.
Hyundai will have the exclusive right
to showcase one of its vehicles on the Field Level concourse in front of
the club for all 81 games. The multi-year agreement is an expansion of a
partnership that began last year with an outfield sign and presence on
SNY.
“Citi Field provides a great venue to showcase an
award-winning Hyundai line-up that continues to get even stronger,” said
Ken Bloech, General Manager for Hyundai Motor America’s Eastern Region.
“Over the course of the season, we look forward to having Mets’ fans
enjoy games from the comfort of the Hyundai Club. We’ll also be
displaying a range of vehicles from an all-new, three-row Santa Fe
that’s perfect for families to a redesigned Equus sedan that delivers a
higher level of refinement for the luxury segment.”
“We are proud
to grow our relationship with Hyundai to including branding rights for
one of the premiere seating locations at Citi Field,” said Dave Howard,
Executive Vice President Business Operations. “Hyundai is the latest
partner to join us for what will be an exciting All-Star season for Mets
fans.”
