Hornitos® Tequila has announced an exciting partnership with the Chicago Cubs, becoming the team’s official tequila and naming rights partner of the recently launched left field group space, the Hornitos Hacienda. Formerly the Left Field Well, the Hornitos Hacienda features space close to the field in the first two rows above the left field wall with designated standing room and limited seating for groups of approximately 15 to 50 fans. This space offers guests the best view in the Budweiser Bleachers to catch all the action, perfect for bachelor or bachelorette parties and special events. As part of the partnership, Hornitos® Tequila will have signage on the left field wall and in-game promotion on the left field video board.
Hornitos® Tequila, which has been available in the enhanced Budweiser Bleachers since their reopening in May, will continue to be available for fans to enjoy as part of the ultimate gameday experience. Premium cocktails featuring Hornitos® Tequila also will be offered at various locations throughout the ballpark to help fans toast to their favorite team.
“Hornitos Tequila and the Chicago Cubs are the perfect recipe for fun at the ballpark this summer,” said Claire Richards, senior director of tequilas at Beam Suntory. “The timing could not be better for us to join forces and the Hornitos Hacienda will offer all-star fans a fun atmosphere, an amazing view to catch all the action and of course, a delicious drink to enjoy while watching the game.”
“With new offerings to complement the bleacher experience that fans already know and love, we are thrilled to work with Hornitos Tequila to offer fans refreshing new ways to enjoy the game,” added Colin Faulkner, vice president of sales and partnerships for the Chicago Cubs. “This has already shaped up to be an exciting season of Cubs baseball, and the Hornitos Hacienda will continue to add to the fun.”
