Bringing our team, our clients, and our community together at Nationwide Arena.
Schneider Downs is proud to announce the renewal of our partnership with the Columbus Blue Jackets for 2026-27 and 2027-28 seasons. The agreement gives proud partner designation and a presence both inside Nationwide Arena and in living rooms across the region.
Who’s involved
Schneider Downs is an independent business advisory firm helping organizations navigate complex challenges, make confident decisions and achieve lasting success. Founded in 1956 and headquartered in Pittsburgh, we’ve built a growing presence in Columbus over the last 35 years.
The Blue Jackets are Central Ohio’s NHL franchise and a fixture of downtown Columbus, known for a passionate fan base and deep community involvement.
What the partnership includes
As an official proud partner of the Blue Jackets, Schneider Downs will have a presence both inside Nationwide Arena and on the regional broadcast throughout the season. Just as important, the partnership provides Schneider Downs with the opportunity to bring clients, colleagues, and friends of the firm together at Nationwide Arena throughout the Blue Jackets’ season.
Why this matters to Schneider Downs
Schneider Downs continues to invest in the Central Ohio and Columbus community. As Ohio’s business community continues to grow, organizations are facing new opportunities, greater complexity and bigger decisions about what comes next. We are here to support the Columbus business community, and this partnership is a visible, long-term commitment to the market.
Building relationships. Our work depends on trust, and trust is built through time spent together. Our partnership with the Blue Jackets provides us with the opportunity to host clients, referral partners and friends of the firm in a relaxed setting, away from deadlines and spreadsheets.
Community Involvement. “Our continued partnership with the Columbus Blue Jackets is just an example of Schneider Downs executing on our mission to be great for our people, clients, and the communities we serve. Schneider Downs is a proud sponsor of the Columbus Blue Jackets.” — David Brinkman, Schneider Downs’ Wealth Management Shareholder
A team approach. The best solutions rarely come from one perspective. We bring together the right experience and expertise to help clients solve complex problems and move forward with confidence. We see that same collaborative spirit in the Blue Jackets organization.
“The Blue Jackets are proud to be a place where Central Ohio business comes together, and we’re excited to continue our partnership with Schneider Downs. Their team brings the kind of trust and long-term thinking that make for a great partner, and we can’t wait to help them connect with clients, colleagues, and fans at Nationwide Arena.” — Ryan Shirk, Blue Jackets’ Vice President of Corporate Partnerships
