Fort Wayne Football Club is pleased to announce it has hired Jennifer Ousley as Food and Beverage Operations Manager for Fort Wayne FC Park, the soccer-specific stadium being built at Bass Road and I-69.
Ousley will work closely with Bill Lehn, Director of Food and Beverage, on creating a first-class experience for patrons at Fort Wayne FC Park, which will be the largest outdoor venue in Northeast Indiana and the soccer club’s home for its move to the professional soccer level of USL League One in 2026.
“I am thrilled to be a part of the food and beverage operations in the new state-of-the-art Fort Wayne FC Park,” Ousley said. “This opportunity allows me to unite my passion for sports leadership and community into one shared mission. The stadium will be a destination where guests feel welcome, connected, and excited to return.
Fort Wayne FC Park, a 100% privately funded facility, will also be home to concerts and other events. Ousley and Lehn will ensure there are many food and beverage options and ease of payment for patrons.
