\n<\/h2>\n

Miami Gardens, Fla, Jan. 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Centerplate<\/a>, the leading hospitality partner to North America\u2019s premier sports entertainment venues, today announced an array of specialty menu items for Monday\u2019s highly anticipated College Football Playoff National Championship between the Alabama Crimson Tide and Ohio State Buckeyes. This is the first time the game will be played in Miami, and the food and beverage experience will rise to the occasion, while ensuring all of the appropriate safety protocols for the expected 13,000 fans in attendance. Everything has been coordinated within local, NFL, and CDC guidelines to help limit the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

\n Hard Rock Stadium<\/a>, a global entertainment destination, was the first stadium worldwide to receive GBAC STAR<\/a> accreditation. The stadium successfully completed 20 program elements with specific performance and guidance criteria to earn accreditation and has been safely hosting professional and collegiate football games over the past few months, as well as an outdoor theater experience. This video<\/a> details the safety protocols that have been installed.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough this year will look different, this is a championship matchup, and we are prepared to provide a championship level of hospitality,\u201d said Centerplate Chief Executive Office Steve Pangburn. \u201cWe are sourcing from South Florida purveyors and employing nearly 1,000 employees to help boost the regional economy and will help curate the finest fan experience in the safest environment possible.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n

The experience will feature an online order-ahead food and beverage option via the stadium app, with distinct pickup-only locations in the stadium. There will also be a limited concessions menu featuring only the most popular items and more pre-packaged offerings, to reduce wait time and crowding on the concourses, so people can return to their seats faster.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe health and safety of everyone continues to be our top priority for the national championship game,\u201d said Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium Vice Chairman and CEO Tom Garfinkel. \u201cWe hope the diligent planning that has gone into making Hard Rock Stadium a safe environment will create an enjoyable experience for all of our guests.\u201d<\/p>\n
