Hospitality Firm Levy to Provide Concessions, More for Oceanside’s Frontwave Arena

Frontwave Arena, months ahead of its opening in Oceanside, has selected Levy, which provides hospitality services at major sports and entertainment venues, as a partner.

Levy will oversee every aspect of hospitality for the 7,500-person multi-purpose arena, from concourse concessions to premium suites, VIP viewing decks, exclusive lounges, bars and an open-air patio.

Frontwave, set to open in September, will be the home of the San Diego Sockers, part of the Major Arena Soccer League, and the NBA G-League San Diego Clippers. It also will host events and live entertainment, including concerts, comedy acts and family shows.

“When starting from scratch and creating an entirely new venue for Southern California fans, we needed to think of every aspect of their experience,” said Frontwave Arena CEO Josh Elias. “Levy was a no-brainer. We want to guarantee our guests the best possible experience from the get-go, and this is the way to do it.”

Levy serves well-known venues coast-to-coast and across California, but outside the San Diego region. Levy’s network of venues includes Dodger Stadium, the Rose Bowl, Crypto.com Arena, Kia Forum, and Levi’s Stadium, as well as Intuit Dome, the future home of the G-League Clippers’ parent club, the Los Angeles Clippers.

“This is a special opportunity to build a new fan experience from the ground-up with hospitality in mind, and we couldn’t be more excited to do it with great partners in Frontwave Arena,” said Levy CEO Andy Lansing.
