When Minneapolis’ newly-minted US Bank Stadium became ground zero for the biggest stars in action sports, metroConnections partnered with ESPN to deliver a premium on-site VIP experience for the leading sports media network’s top management and guests.

CHALLENGE

metroConnections was tasked with selecting an exciting and strategically located venue to serve as a premium lounge and meeting space for ESPN’s executives, celebrity guests, and strategic partners–and a suitable means of transportation for those VIPs to arrive in style.

SOLUTIONS

After researching, negotiating and contracting US Bank’s conveniently located Club Purple, metroConnections got to work transforming the football-focused space into a luxury VIP suite that conformed to every facet of ESPN and X Games’ exact brand guidelines.
