7-Eleven Kicks Off Multi-Year Partnership With Colorado Rapids

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. -- The Colorado Rapids soccer team and 7-Eleven Inc. agreed to a multi-year partnership that includes the creation of "The Corner 7-Eleven" at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, located in Sections 112 and 113 at the stadium.

"Partnering with 7-Eleven and offering Rapids tickets in their stores gives us a phenomenal platform to reach new and existing soccer fans throughout the state," said Rapids President Tim Hinchey. "As a well-known brand with a huge influence, 7-Eleven is a perfect company to join with in 2013 and beyond."

The Corner 7-Eleven will seat approximately 880 fans, and the $15-ticket, which is available for all Rapids home games, will be the lowest-priced ticket in the stadium, stated the soccer organization. Fans can purchase the tickets at any participating 7-Eleven location in Colorado, and redeem them at the Rapids' box office for entrance to any game on a first-come, first-served basis.

"Offering Rapids tickets to our customers is a great example of how 7-Eleven goes above and beyond for the people who come to our stores," said Jason Heffelfinger, zone leader for 7-Eleven stores in Colorado, Utah, Missouri and Kansas. "Customers will have the opportunity to experience professional soccer at the best price available and the convenience of buying tickets at any of more than 300 7-Eleven locations throughout Colorado."

In addition, 7-Eleven locations throughout Colorado will have four Enter-To-Win sweepstakes opportunities throughout the season. The winning package includes VIP tickets to a Rapids home match, pre-game sidelines passes and an authentic Rapids jersey.
