Oceanside, Calif. (April 11, 2024) — Frontwave Arena has selected Levy, the market leader in creating world-class hospitality at iconic sports and entertainment venues, to partner on an elevated food and beverage experience at the new multi-purpose venue in Oceanside, California. Levy will oversee every aspect of hospitality for the 7,500-person arena, from concourse concessions to premium suites, VIP viewing decks, exclusive lounges, bars, and an open-air patio. Frontwave Arena opens in September 2024 and will be the home of the Major Arena Soccer League San Diego Sockers and the NBA G-League San Diego Clippers, as well as major events and live entertainment, including headline concerts, comedy acts, and family shows, among other live performances.

“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 Chief Executive Officer 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.”

“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. “Together we’ll make this venue an incredible destination for both entertainment and hospitality, with a pro-level food and beverage offering crafted around all the ways fans will experience the arena, from match and game days to a night out at the concert.”

Levy will be a familiar name for many fans and guests, as the company serves the most well-known venues coast-to-coast and iconic entertainment and hospitality destinations across California. Levy’s network of venues and events 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.
