The company’s expertise encompasses venue development and a comprehensive range of services including venue management, hospitality, and sponsorship sales, making it a powerhouse in the live entertainment industry.
Located on the campus of Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado, Canvas Stadium is an outdoor college football stadium that opened in 2017 and marked the return of Rams football games to campus after a 50-year hiatus.

Maintaining a professional appearance and a strong knowledge of bar offerings are also essential for success.
Ideal candidates will bring experience from similar fast-paced, high-volume service environments and possess or be willing to obtain necessary certifications such as a Food Handlers Card and Alcohol Awareness Certification. Ability to function well within a team and communicate clearly and respectfully with guests and coworkers is crucial. A minimum educational requirement of a high school diploma or GED is necessary.
