As part of an ongoing partnership, Sodexo Live! announces tomorrow the appearance of the Picnic Pizza Station at the Casesars Superdome as a top highlight. Basketball fans in New Orleans for the weekend can take full advantage of the consistently delicious pizza the station offers.

“Our team, made up of employees exclusively from the surrounding region, is incredibly excited for this top-tier event, and our approach has certainly been enhanced to meet the moment,” said Steve Pangburn, CEO, Sodexo Live! North America. “From the automated Picnic Pizza Station, which will free our staff up to focus on other fan-facing tasks, to the basketball-themed items, we know everything will be a slam-dunk for college basketball fans to enjoy.”

The championship event is being hosted for the tenth time, the sixth time in New Orleans, and the second consecutive year after Indianapolis last year. There will also be a Fan Fest at Morial Convention Center.
