OXFORD, MS (May 26, 2021) — Teall Sports & Entertainment, which invests in innovative, high-growth potential companies in the sports, entertainment and lifestyle spaces, today announced a strategic partnership that makes REVELXP the official experience provider and Dyehard Fan Supply the official merchandise provider for Ole Miss Athletics.
“Coming to a game at Ole Miss is a bucket list item for any sports fan,” said Keith Carter, Ole Miss Vice Chancellor for Intercollegiate Athletics. “As we look at welcoming fans back to our venues this fall, Teall Sports & Entertainment understands our vision and is bringing new and exciting ideas to the table. As has been said, The Grove is the country’s greatest tailgating destination, and this partnership with REVELXP and Dyehard Fan Supply will ensure that the rest of our game day experience achieves that same level of excitement.”
REVELXP will create, develop and augment fan experiences on game day and every day in between, building new premium hospitality services beginning with the fall 2021 sports season. Services will span design and custom-builds, seating solutions, equipment needs, ticketing services, event staffing and more.
“The post-pandemic sports world is going to offer an environment with incredible pent-up demand for connection, community and fan engagement like never before,” said Ray DeWeese, CEO of REVELXP. “Our partnership with Ole Miss affords us an incredible opportunity to launch our services with a university that is recognized for world-class hospitality and game day camaraderie. The team at REVELXP will develop innovative best-in-class fan engagement around football, basketball and baseball game days and identify new and important revenue streams for the entire athletic department.”
Dyehard Fan Supply will manage and operate the official e-commerce, in-venue and store merchandising programs. Working closely with Ole Miss, the Dyehard team will execute merchandise programs that are unique to the Ole Miss fan base and community. In addition, Dyehard will bring a custom game day shopping experience to The Grove for the first time ever.
“Ole Miss represents a unique opportunity to transform both the in-venue and the e-commerce merchandising programs in a holistic, unified way with our colleagues at REVELXP,” said Scott Killian, CEO of Dyehard Fan Supply. “Never before has merchandising been so highly integrated with hospitality and tailgating experiences to create a seamless, elevated fan experience.”
