Mesa, Ariz. – September 22, 2026 – Arizona Athletic Grounds (AAG), the national destination for championship sports and live entertainment, attracting millions of visitors annually, announced today a new partnership with Canteen, a division of Compass Group USA, as the Official Vending and Coffee Services Partner of the 275-acre Mesa campus.

The partnership is part of AAG's continued investment in upgrading its food and beverage experience across the property, including new equipment, enhanced concessions, and expanded activations for athletes, families and guests.

Through the partnership, Canteen will provide and service vending solutions offering food, beverages, and other products throughout Arizona Athletic Grounds campus. The partnership also brings Press Coffee to AAG, located in the Food Court between Fieldhouse A and B. Guests will have access to premium hot and iced espresso drinks, coffee, cold brew, frappes, teas, and other offerings throughout their time on campus.

"We are making a major investment in the food and beverage experience at Arizona Athletic Grounds, including new equipment, upgraded concessions and better options throughout the campus," said Mike Muraco, VP of Business Development for Arizona Athletic Grounds. "Expanding on Canteen and Press Coffee is another important part of that commitment. We want athletes, families and guests to have more quality, convenience and variety when they're here, and this partnership helps us continue raising the standard across AAG."

"We're proud to partner with Arizona Athletic Grounds in an environment where performance matters, supporting both the athletes who compete and the people beside them," said Michael Partyka, Regional Director at Canteen. "Our goal is to provide convenient, high-quality food and beverage options that match the pace and energy of a destination like AAG. By making refreshments easy to access across campus, we can help guests spend less time away from the action and more time focused on what brought them there, whether that means performing at their best or cheering from the sidelines."

The Canteen partnership and addition of Press Coffee is part of AAG's broader effort to enhance food and beverage offerings across the campus. With new equipment, upgraded concessions and expanded dining options, AAG continues to invest in creating a better overall experience for the millions of athletes, families, fans and guests who visit the campus each year.
