WVU Associate Athletics Director - Facilities & Operations
Former President of CEFMA (Collegiate Event & Facilities Management Association)
Here at West Virginia University, we view Rhino Sports completely as a partner and not some third-party vendor. Their unique business model truly allows for complete transparency, and we constantly work together in hopes of providing the best customer service to all Mountaineer fans. Their positive and upbeat culture within their own staff easily transfers to our fans. We here at WVU will sing their praises to all who will listen!
John brunner
Associate Athletic Director for Event Management
After a thorough and competitive RFP bid process, our committee unanimously chose Rhino Sports to be our Auxiliary Staff Services Vendor at UNC. The Rhino Sports business model was unique and intriguing and we worked on both sides to create a unique solution that could work during the current time of uncertainty and at once we got back up and running. Choosing to partner with Rhino Sports was one of the best decisions we made in 2020. Their motto is “creating an unsurpassed customer experience,” and they truly mean it. I have been impressed with just how truly different they are and what they bring to the Carolina Campus Community. If you are wondering whether a company can be different and stand out in the industry, Rhino has proven, time and again, that they can. I encourage anyone thinking about improving your guest experience at your events to go with Rhino Sports.

I didn't want this challenging football season, the current basketball season, and this holiday season to go by without extending to you and your staff a very warm felt thanks for the outstanding work your group has done and continues to do for us here at Virginia Tech athletics. It has been and apparently will remain a challenge into 2021.
No one really knows how much longer this COVID situation will linger but one thing remains constant and that is our reliance on your group for support and the knowledge the excellent support will be there for us. Thanks again for your leadership and your customer friendly staff that supports us.
