FAIRFIELD, Conn. (January 7, 2026)—Van Wagner Sports and Entertainment and Fairfield University Athletics have signed 47 sponsors for the 2025-26 academic year. These partnerships strengthen the game-day experience and expand Fairfield University's growing network of community and regional connections.
 
Many of these sponsors are local, regional, and Connecticut-based and they play an integral role in shaping the campus experience for students, alumni, fans, and the broader community. Together, they help advance Fairfield's ongoing commitment to collaboration, shared success, and meaningful engagement with the Town of Fairfield and the surrounding region. Athletics and campus events welcome more than 100,000 visitors to campus annually and are among the key drivers of the University's regional engagement.
 
"A shared strategic priority for the University and Stags Athletics is to forge relationships with local, regional and national organizations to optimize our connection to the community and drive sponsorship revenue," said Vice President for Athletics Paul Schlickmann. "Van Wagner has done an exceptional job of bringing these partnerships to campus and significantly increasing the total number of sponsors year over year. We are excited to continue this momentum and build upon this important collaborative effort future forward.
 
Premier partners for this year include Yale New Haven Health, NIVEA MEN, Wonder and Elicit Brewing Company.
