STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Centerplate, the leading hospitality provider to North America's premier sports and convention centers, announced today the appointment of hospitality industry veteran Adrian Dishington to head its operations in the Northwestern United States as Regional Vice President—a territory which includes BC Place and the University of BC Thunderbird Arena in Vancouver, PGE Park in Portland, Oregon, and Safeco Field, home of Major League Baseball's Seattle Mariners.
