Project Description
BBVA Compass Stadium is a 22,000-seat open-air stadium in the heart of Houston’s “EaDo” neighborhood, just east of downtown. The venue is home to Houston’s two professional soccer clubs, Major League Soccer’s Houston Dynamo and the National Women’s Soccer League’s Houston Dash. Kirksey was selected by Levy Restaurants to renovate and update the South Concourse and exterior patio spaces. The final product was re-branded as the “Taste of EaDo” and includes a new “HTX Int’l” walk-in market, the “Tecate Social” four-sided bar, and updates to existing concessions to provide more authentic, locally-inspired dining options. Additionally, the “East End Ice House” was created to give fans a “tailgating” experience, with outdoor games, covered and cooled seating, colorful murals, and an outdoor bar. Fans have given excited and positive feedback about the new look and offerings, and Levy Restaurants has reported a 70% increase and as much as a $1000 increase per game in the new Int’l Market.
