Description
The San Antonio Sports Corporate Cup presented by OrthoNow is a one-of-a-kind Olympic-style, co-ed, team building, opponent-taunting, skills-flaunting field day for adults that pits company vs. company in the ultimate competition to claim the cup! It's not about athletic prowess. Oh no my friends, this is all about coming together to bond, trash talk and score points!
Besides joining forces with colleagues in a fun, active and football-tailgating-kind-of-way (with bragging rights and a really awesome trophy that won't leak beer), the San Antonio Sports Corporate Cup incorporates a Charity Challenge into the competition each year.
And...
Proceeds from the Corporate Cup will provide sports and fitness programs for the youth of our community, especially those who are underserved, as well as all of the other amazing things we do for San Antonio like host the Final Four. It doesn't get better than reliving your glory days while going head-to-head with a rival company, but if you need the best reason, do it for the kids!

Tailgating, tacos and beer, oh my!
JPMorgan Chase Bank Tailgate Athlete Village
There's no better way in enjoying the fun atmosphere of Corproate Cup than enjoying our Athlete Village that consist of four (4) Tailgate Zones through the UIW Athletic facilities. Tailgating isn't for the faint of heart and it's definitely a popularity contest! Judges will be roaming the area to crown teams with the best set-up, décor, themes and overall spirit! So, fire up the grill, get that playlist ready and start coordinating your flash mob!
Enjoy the Glazer's Beer Garden - located between the baseball and softball stadiums. What would Corporate Cup be without FREE beer! Glazer’s will be supplying the liquid carbohydrates for participants and spectators as part of the best field-day tailgate around. Those of age will enjoy a wide variety of free beer served by our TABC trained staff and volunteers. ID’s are required to receive a wristband and a reminder to always drink responsibly.
We are excited to share that as our new concessionaire partner Las Palapas is now taking pre-orders! Las Palapas has a dedicated site where Corporate Cup companies can pre-order dozens of tacos or any other item available on their site.
In addition, for your team’s preparation at your tailgate area, don’t forget to take advantage of the RunSignUp team captain store where you can pre-order bags of ice and rent sandbag weights for your tents and tailgate setup if needed. Any team who does not have tent weights for their canopy's on load-in day will have to rent tent weights to secure their canopy and other structures.
Pre-orders are the best way to avoid lines and guarantee availability and can be submitted through May 20 for Las Palapas orders and May 26 for ice and sand bag pre-orders. Due to the closure of campus, vehicle access is not permitted during event hours, and no outside food deliveries will be allowed to enter the area. Outside food will have to be brought in by hand.
