Tina Griffith, ICAE
Director Food Services
Traders Village


Tina is currently the Director of Food and Beverage for Trader’s Village in Grand Prairie, Texas. Throughout the majority of her career, Tina has focused primarily on Sports and Entertainment F&B projects. She was involved in opening multiple premier venues including Staples Center in Los Angeles, AT&T Stadium in Dallas, and Yankee Stadium in Bronx, NY. Additionally, Tina was involved in menu and project development for multiple Atlantic League baseball stadiums, The Los Angeles Coliseum, and various Live Nation concert venues. Nearly 20 years ago, Tina began work as a part time associate at Dodger Stadium in the Food and Beverage department. She quickly moved from “selling hot dogs” (which she still tells everyone she does even to this day), to many new positions with increased responsibilities. Quickly realizing the passion for these positions, she discovered her career path- quite by accident. Transitioning from the #1 Professional Sports team franchise (Go Cowboys!) to the attractions industry was a reward unto itself. Tina found the home she had searched for in multiple sports and entertainment complexes. Now with a passion for the industry and bringing varied experiences she is enjoying her new roles. Tina lives in Arlington, TX with her husband T.R. and their 6 children.
