Exclusive Club Space at Levi’s Stadium
Citrix® announced today that it will become a business partner
of the Santa Clara Stadium Authority and the San Francisco 49ers,
supporting Levi’s® Stadium as part of a 10-year agreement.
The partnership includes Citrix branding of the Owners Club level
of suites as the “Citrix Owners Club.” The 49ers and Levi’s®
Stadium have also invested in Citrix mobility solutions and cloud
services that will enable mobile workspace collaboration and
productivity across Levi’s® Stadium and during day-to-day team
operations.

While the stadium will benefit from the use of Citrix
technology, the partnership will provide Citrix with a location
that will act as an extension of the company’s executive briefing
center, located directly across the street from Levi’s® Stadium at
the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters. The Citrix executive
briefing center offers a shared experience between customers and
Citrix executives. Citrix will utilize its own suite in the Citrix
Owners Club, which includes a separate meeting boardroom, to
augment the company’s executive briefing center. This meeting space
will allow for a collaborative approach that includes customized
agendas and technical deep-dives, coupled with interactive
demonstrations that showcase Citrix mobile workspace technology.
Located within the Citrix Owners Club, which includes 22 suites and
accommodates more than 400 people, guests of Citrix will be able to
enjoy an atmosphere that was designed to reflect a high-end Napa
winery and houses the many original works of art that make up the
Levi’s® Stadium Art Collection.
“As we strive to find innovative ways to connect with our fans
and customers, mobile workspace technology from Citrix will allow
us to do just that,” said Jed York, CEO, San Francisco 49ers.
“Partnering with a locally-based technology leader like Citrix
aligns perfectly with the Levi’s® Stadium vision of showcasing all
that is special about the Bay Area.”
Levi’s® Stadium is one of the most technologically and
environmentally advanced buildings in all of sports and
entertainment. Citrix ShareFile® will be utilized by 49ers and
Levi’s® Stadium employees for fast, easy and secure sharing of
files, photos, and videos. Citrix GoToMeeting®, GoToWebinar®,
GoToTraining® and OpenVoice™ audio conferencing will be used by the
front office, players and coaches from around the country for
communications.
“We are excited to be partnering with the new Levi’s Stadium
team and the San Francisco 49ers and their adoption of Citrix
mobility solutions,” said David Henshall, COO and CFO, Citrix. “We
host thousands of customers each year from businesses worldwide at
our Silicon Valley executive briefing center, which is located
across the street from Levi’s® Stadium. The close proximity of the
stadium makes this an invaluable resource for Citrix, and offers
our customers an extraordinary experience that is key to building
and expanding our relationships.”
