Wildcats Seek Local Restaurants to "Feed the Team"
ATLANTA, GA – In a city known for its vibrant culinary scene and unwavering passion for sports, the Atlanta Wildcats are kicking off a new initiative designed to bring the two together. The National Gridiron League (NGL) team, a symbol of resilience and community pride in the city, is officially launching its "Feed the Team" partnership program, offering local restaurants a unique opportunity to fuel the players and staff throughout the 2026 season in exchange for valuable advertising and promotional benefits.
The partnership is a win-win, according to Wildcats management. For the team, it's about ensuring their athletes have the proper nutrition they need to perform at a championship level. For local restaurants, it's an opportunity to connect with a dedicated fan base, increase brand visibility, and become an integral part of the Atlanta Wildcats' journey to success.
"The training table is a key ingredient to an athlete's success," said a Wildcats spokesperson. "A properly fed athlete can consistently perform at a championship level. By partnering with us, a restaurant isn't just providing meals; they're helping to build a champion on the field."
The "Feed the Team" program is designed to be a simple yet highly effective collaboration. Restaurants that join the program will provide meals to Wildcats players and staff on a regular basis throughout the 2026 season. This can take various forms, from providing meal vouchers for players to use at the restaurant to catering entire team dinners at the team's facility or hosting a group meal at the restaurant's location. The details can be customized to fit the needs of both the team and the partnering establishment.
In exchange for their culinary contributions, restaurants will receive a comprehensive package of marketing and promotional assets that will connect their brand directly to the Wildcats' passionate fan base. The benefits package is designed to provide a significant return on investment, with a value estimated at over $6,000 in advertising.
Partnering restaurants can expect to see their brand prominently featured across a variety of platforms, including:
- Game Day Recognition: Logo and video board recognition during all ten (10) Wildcats regular-season home games. This puts a restaurant's brand in front of thousands of fans in the stadium on game day.
- Social Media Spotlight: Dedicated social media promotion across the Wildcats' official channels, reaching tens of thousands of followers with exclusive offers or promotions decided by the restaurant.
- Official Website & Game Program Inclusion: A special section on the official Atlanta Wildcats website and in each printed game program will be dedicated to "Feed the Team" partners.
- In-Venue Branding: A dasherboard logo placement at the Wildcats' home field, offering a consistent and high-visibility advertising presence.
- Exclusive Access: Partners will receive two (2) lower-level season tickets for the 2026 season, providing a unique hospitality opportunity. They will also gain access to exclusive season ticket holder events, with the chance to extend special offers to this loyal group of fans.
Sports and restaurants have always had a strong connection, and this program builds on that natural synergy. Fans are more likely to patronize and feel more favorably about brands that sponsor their favorite teams. For local restaurants, this partnership provides a direct avenue to cultivate that brand loyalty and attract new customers who are emotionally invested in the success of the Atlanta Wildcats.
The Wildcats organization is deeply committed to the Atlanta community, and the "Feed the Team" program is a testament to that commitment. It's an opportunity to not only support the on-field success of the team but also to strengthen the local economy by driving business to Atlanta's beloved and diverse restaurant landscape.
"We believe that a strong team is built on strong community partnerships," the spokesperson added. "We're excited to invite Atlanta's best restaurants to join us in this journey. This is more than just a sponsorship; it's a partnership that will help us build a lasting legacy both on and off the field."
The team is actively seeking partners for the upcoming season. Interested restaurant owners and managers are encouraged to visit the official Atlanta Wildcats website and fill out the "Feed the Team Partnership Form" to learn more and become part of the team's winning recipe.
