FC Cincinnati announced today the continued partnership with Cintas. They are one of the original sponsors of FC Cincinnati and most recently became the naming rights partner for the Field Lounge when TQL Stadium opened in 2021. Cintas has signed an agreement to become the VIP Entry naming partner and the second-floor suites entitlement partner at TQL Stadium. The VIP Entry will remain at the same location with new branding.
The Cintas VIP Entry, located on the west side of the TQL Stadium welcomes suite holders as well as ticket holders to several premium clubs and private spaces. The second-floor suites level entitlement will highlight the Cintas logo and branding on the two luxury suite levels.
