RENO, Nev.–Greater Nevada Credit Union has entered into a multi-year partnership that will give it naming rights to the home venue of the Reno Aces Baseball Club and the Reno 1868 Football Club.
As a result of the agreement with SK Baseball, LLC, and Reno Soccer Investors, LLC, the venue will now be known as Greater Nevada Field.
"We're very pleased to enter into this new partnership with the Aces," said Greater Nevada President and Chief Executive Officer Wally Murray in a statement. "We believe we share a mutual commitment toward encouraging continued economic revitalization and community development in our region. We're looking forward to Greater Nevada Field becoming a year-round venue that hosts a variety of events and programs, and provides a multitude of safe and enjoyable experiences for families, individuals and groups."
The ballpark is entering its eighth season as the home of the Aces, the Triple-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks. The venue seats 9,100.
The 15-year agreement between GNCU, the Aces and Reno 1868 FC includes exclusive sponsorship and advertising rights and prominent signage on the ballpark's exterior façade along Evans Avenue and Kuenzli Street, the scoreboard in left-center field and numerous locations throughout the ballpark.
Greater Nevada Credit Union said it will host a wide variety of season-long special events and will be the lead partner on the Aces ticket fundraising program, which raised more than $130,000 in 2015.
The $585-million GNCU has 51,000 members.
