GLOBAL HOSPITALITY

We believe that exceptional venue experiences should extend beyond game day and show time. From five-star feasts and craft cocktails to local eats and sizzling chef-inspired creations, we are renowned for our exceptional dining experiences. Our fresh, creative cuisine is just the beginning. We strive to delight guests at every turn: candy walls, in-house bakeshops and a warm welcome at every turn.

 

YANKEE STADIUM

When the new Yankee Stadium opened in 2009, it was an instant icon. The mission was clear as we had to install all of the traditional elements of the old stadium, but with a modern flare and visionary stadium amenities. The stadium is equipped with multiple private club areas, concessions areas and more than 425 points of sale. This has allowed Legends to define a new standard for the premium ballpark dining experience, deliver the freshest and hottest concessions food and keep lines shorter allowing the Guest to get back to their seats and enjoy the game. Over 250 culinarians work in 17 kitchens where food is prepared from scratch to provide the freshest quality ingredients and menu selections daily. Menus are rotated every day to enhance guest satisfaction and satisfy even the most discriminating palette. These food and merchandise innovations were coupled with a maniacal focus on the Guest Experience. The front-line staff is continually trained to deliver the seven pillars of Legends’ Customer Service program. This training is reinforced with a positive reward and recognition program and bolstered with daily guest satisfaction and secret shoppers’ surveys with feedback delivered real-time to front line management.
