The Ramada Plaza Minneapolis Teams Up With the University of Minnesota's Athletic Program

Paul Durand, member of the ownership group of the Ramada Plaza Minneapolis, announced today that the hotel signed a strategic partnership and sponsorship agreement with University of Minnesota Athletics. The agreement is for the 2010-2011 school year and will include all men's and women's sporting events. Located three miles north of campus, the Ramada Plaza Minneapolis will provide free shuttle service to and from campus sporting events as well as other game-day deals in conjunction with the partnership.

Durand said of the partnership, "The U of M athletic department is a vital part of the fabric of Minnesota." He continued, “We want to be the headquarters for fans both locally and those traveling to see the games. During our recent remodel, we created exclusive club level rooms to accommodate large groups of out of town guests. We’re thrilled to support and participate in our state’s largest University sports program.”
