The San Francisco 49ers and Cache Creek Casino Resort, owned by the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, have proudly announced an extension of their partnership, which began in 2019. This enhanced agreement now positions Cache Creek Casino Resort as a founding-level partner of the 49ers, signaling a deeper commitment between the two organizations.
A centerpiece of the renewed partnership is the introduction of the Cache Creek Casino Resort Field Club. This premium space, which is situated at the 50-yard line, offers ticketed guests an exclusive, all-inclusive food and beverage experience, with the added perk of field-level viewing directly behind the 49ers’ sideline. This area promises to deliver a one-of-a-kind game day atmosphere.
In a significant cultural initiative, every November will see the San Francisco 49ers and Cache Creek Casino Resort come together to celebrate Native American Heritage Month. These celebrations are set to honor the rich cultural heritage and contributions of Native Americans through various events and activities, enhancing the community connection fostered by this partnership.
Executive Perspectives on the Renewed Partnership
Kari Stout-Smith, COO and General Manager of Cache Creek Casino Resort, expressed enthusiasm about the extension, noting: “This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to providing unparalleled experiences for our guests and fans of the San Francisco 49ers. We are excited about the future activities and celebrations that this renewed partnership will bring.”
Kevin Hilton, Vice President of Corporate Partnerships for the 49ers, highlighted the unique fan experiences developed since the partnership’s inception. “As a fellow provider of premier entertainment in Northern California, we are thrilled to elevate Cache Creek Casino Resort to a founding partner status. We are eager to continue our collaborative efforts with the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation,” Hilton stated.
Anthony Roberts, Tribal Chairman of the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, shared: “We are ecstatic to renew our partnership with the San Francisco 49ers, a legendary sports icon. This collaboration allows us to share the rich heritage of the Yocha Dehe with 49ers fans and showcase the exceptional offerings of our Cache Creek and Séka Hills brands.”
New Enhancements and Visibility
With the 2024 NFL season, new stadium signage for Cache Creek Casino Resort will be unveiled, including play clock placements and a spot on the prestigious 49ers corporate partner “Ring of Honor” atop Levi’s Stadium.
The existing Cache Creek Club will undergo a rebranding to become the Cache Creek Casino Resort Players’ Lounge, positioned directly outside the visiting team’s locker room, offering exclusive benefits to north-end zone field seat ticket holders.
Beyond the 49ers, Cache Creek Casino Resort continues to maintain sports partnerships with other key regional sports organizations, including the San Francisco Giants, Golden State Warriors, San Jose Sharks, and Sacramento River Cats, underscoring its prominence in the Northern California sports landscape.
