METS AND HYUNDAI REACH MULTI-YEAR PARTNERSHIP FOR HYUNDAI CLUB AT CITI FIELD

COSTA MESA, Calif., March 18, 2013 – The New York Mets and Hyundai Motor America today announced a multi-year partnership for naming rights to the Hyundai Club at Citi Field, putting the spotlight on the Hyundai brand in the New York area as it continues to launch new vehicles and attract more customers.

The Hyundai Club, formerly known as the Champions Club, is an all-inclusive premium seating area located on the field level behind home plate with 660 seats spanning to the dugouts. The gourmet buffet includes a daily chef selection of carved meats and pasta and unlimited non-alcoholic beverages. A selection of peanuts, popcorn, fresh baked cookies and ice cream are also available.

Hyundai will have the exclusive right to showcase one of its vehicles on the Field Level concourse in front of the club for all 81 games. The multi-year agreement is an expansion of a partnership that began last year with an outfield sign and presence on SNY.

“Citi Field provides a great venue to showcase an award-winning Hyundai line-up that continues to get even stronger,” said Ken Bloech, General Manager for Hyundai Motor America’s Eastern Region. “Over the course of the season, we look forward to having Mets’ fans enjoy games from the comfort of the Hyundai Club. We’ll also be displaying a range of vehicles from an all-new, three-row Santa Fe that’s perfect for families to a redesigned Equus sedan that delivers a higher level of refinement for the luxury segment.”

“We are proud to grow our relationship with Hyundai to including branding rights for one of the premiere seating locations at Citi Field,” said Dave Howard, Executive Vice President Business Operations. “Hyundai is the latest partner to join us for what will be an exciting All-Star season for Mets fans.”
