STLP works with Central Bank Center to provide numerous options for lunch and snacks throughout the venue during State. Quick Stop food kiosks will be located in several locations throughout, the full concession stand on the Rupp Arena concourse will be open, and a full food court will be available in the newly constructed Club B (access from Rupp Arena floor).
Central Bank Center offers a pre-order option that will allow schools to pay via check or credit card. With the convenience of pre-order comes the ability to schedule a lunch pick up time from a central location...allowing students more time to explore STLP State and less time standing in line.
All pre-orders must be received and paid in full by 5 pm on Friday, March 15, 2024.
All pre-orders will include an 18% service charge if received by March 1, 2024. All orders received after March 1, 2024 will incur a 23% service charge. No orders will be accepted after March 15, 2024.
Please include your tax exemption form with your order or 6% sales tax will be added.
If paying by check, please include with order form and remit to: Levy Restaurants c/o Madison Stalnaker 430 W. Vine St. Lexington, KY 40507
Pick-up Location will be in Club C (at the "L" bar)
Please bring a signed copy of your event order to the pick-up location.
Orders must be picked-up within 15 minutes of reserved time
Please direct all questions regarding lunch pre-order to Madison Stalnacker email: madison.stalnacker@levyrestaurants.com

The staff at CBC recognize that some schools would like to take advantage of their own school nutrition options instead of students purchasing lunch from the concessions/food court during STLP State. To accomodate those schools, CBC has generously approved schools bringing along pre-packed school lunches into the venue for students to enjoy.
NOTE: Ordering outside restaurant food is still restricted while at STLP State due to CBC guidelines. So, while bringing a pre-packed lunch prepared by your school nutrition cafeteria staff is allowed this year, ordering a stack of pizzas or sandwiches from a local restaurant to bring inside CBC/Rupp is still prohibited.
STLP appreciates and thanks CBC management for cooperating with our request to allow schools to provide pre-packed lunches and to accept cash in the food court and concessions durng our event. This is the only event they allow to do these things, so please help us remain respectful and appreciative by not "smuggling" outside restraunt food into the building and by making sure all lunch related trash makes it into a trash can. Thank you, CBC!
STLP is excited to announce that Central Bank Center and Rupp Arena have agreed to make the STLP State Championship a cash friendly event. Food vendors throughout the venue will accept cash or other cashless forms of payment.
Thank you to the Central Bank Center team for recognizing the challenges young students could face in a cashless environment for State. We appreciate their flexibility and support for students. (Note: STLP State is the only event that CBC/Rupp allows cash)
STLP does not require teams to utilize a "conference hotel" instead allowing schools to determine the best solution to match their lodging needs. This flexibility means that your STLP can focus on choosing lodging that meets your preference for convenience, cost savings, and location. However, if a local hotel elects to offer a special "STLP rate", we will include that information below.
