Trend: Basketball, Business, Connections Made Easy

Face-to-face business interactions help build teams and relationships. At the Iowa Wolves, premium experiences are a priority, so you can have fun and make connections. Read why one local business owner was immediately drawn to the Wolves as the venue of choice for employees, clients and partners.

Coming out of the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Scott Bleich wanted more opportunities to connect face-to-face with his team and clients, outside of the traditional work environment. Bleich, the CEO and an employee owner at Heartland Cos., a local commercial subcontractor, is a passionate sports fan and was immediately drawn to the Iowa Wolves.

Not only do they offer high-level basketball, but the overall experience is hard to beat.

“The Iowa Wolves give us a chance to enjoy that big-city sports atmosphere while treating our clients, employees and even the nonprofits we partner with,” Bleich said. “It’s something a little different, but you still get the professional sports feel. The Wolves provided us with valuable face-to-face interactions after a long time without them.”

Heartland purchases a full-season package that includes a four-seat courtside table, splitting the tickets among employees, their families, clients and partner nonprofits. Bleich shared that one of his favorite aspects of partnering with the Iowa Wolves is how seamless and hassle-free the experience is. Everything — from parking to food, drinks and seats — is taken care of, leaving more time for connection and enjoyment.

“The Iowa Wolves make it so easy that you don’t have to worry about anything. It’s perfect for our teams and clients to relax and build trust. As a business owner, those experiences are invaluable for team building and strengthening client relationships.” – Scott Bleich

“You’re pampered by the team, who handle all the details, and then you get to watch these incredible athletes up close and personal,” Bleich said. “The Iowa Wolves make it so easy that you don’t have to worry about anything. It’s perfect for our teams and clients to relax and build trust. As a business owner, those experiences are invaluable for team building and strengthening client relationships.”

Bleich is not alone in his praise of the Iowa Wolves experience. The team prioritizes premium business experiences, offering several excellent options to suit different needs.

The courtside tables are a fan favorite, along with high-top tables, both of which include access to the exclusive Courtside Club. Guests can enjoy a variety of complimentary beverages and a rotating selection of delicious food. Businesses also have the option of reserving club suites at Wells Fargo Arena, ideal for larger or more intimate gatherings.

The best part? You don’t have to worry about a thing — just show up and enjoy the game.
