OMAHA, NEB. – Omaha Athletics and Omaha Sports Properties, the exclusive multimedia rights holder for Omaha Athletics, announced today that it has entered into a corporate partnership agreement with Godfather's Pizza, Inc. to make the company the exclusive provider of pizza in Baxter Arena.
“Godfather's Pizza is a great Omaha company with a tradition of serving outstanding food for a good value,” said General Manager of Omaha Sports Properties
John Skolaski. “By partnering with Godfather's Pizza and its more than 40 years of experience, we knew that pizza service at Baxter Arena would be in very good hands.”
Pizza-by-the-slice will be topped on-site at Baxter Arena and served hot for hungry Maverick fans at two locations – a kiosk and restaurant-style suite with tables to enjoy the pizza. A variety of toppings will be available – including specialty pies like the Classic Combo. Ticket holders will also have the option to receive pizza delivered straight to their box seats without missing any of the game.
“As an Omaha- based company, we knew it was the perfect match to support and sponsor 'Omaha's Team,'” said Dawn Drazdys, Vice President of Marketing at Godfather's Pizza, Inc. “The community focus from the university and athletic department pairs well with our passion for families, our hometown and of course, great-tasting pizza.”
“We look forward to serving Maverick fans fresh pizza in Baxter Arena.”
The new site marks the 23rd Omaha-area Godfather's Pizza. Baxter Arena is located within walking distance to Godfather's Pizza at Aksarben Village.
