ABM seals Forest Hills Stadium partnership

Facility solutions provider ABM has entered into a partnership with New York’s Forest Hills Stadium.

ABM will be a facilities service partner for the venue, which hosts tennis matches and music concerts.

The agreement was brokered by the AEG Global Partnerships division of sports and entertainment company AEG, which recently signed a long-term booking and promotion partnership with the venue.

The contract covers cleaning services prior to, during and after events. ABM will also be responsible for recycling and composting, as well as maintaining the neighbouring blocks during popular events.

“We’re excited to bring industry best practices and standards to this recently revived, historic entertainment space. We look forward to aiding them in their continued efforts to be both stewards of the environment and good neighbours to their Forest Hills community,” Art Rodriguez, vice-president of business and industry and head of sports and entertainment at ABM, said.

The venue’s general manager, Jason Brandt, added: “As we continue to restore and renovate this historic stadium, it’s important to us to have a true partner, a member of our ‘home team,’ who can help us deliver a fantastic fan experience that will keep people coming back. ABM’s stadium and arena experience, combined with the dedicated facilities team members they will provide, will be invaluable to us as we continue to establish Forest Hills as a premium and unique live event experience.”
