ABERDEEN, Md. – Aberdeen Proving Grounds FCU has signed a $750,000 sponsorship deal with Harford Community College to name the school’s new arena after the credit union.
The new community arena in suburban Baltimore will be known as the APG Federal Credit Union Arena at Harford Community College. When completed, it will seat 3,200 and be the largest indoor venue in northeastern Maryland.
APG FCU will have its name and logo on interior and exterior signage, the arena floor, pillars and scoreboard, plus recognition on all arena advertising, posters, basketball and volleyball schedules, event programs and playbills.
The $900-million credit union will pay $50,000 for 15 years of naming rights under the deal.
In conjunction with the credit union’s effort, Harford Community College is launching a seat-naming opportunity in the arena. Twelve hundred seats are available for naming at a cost of $100 per seat.
APG Arena will be home to three of college’s Fighting Owls athletic teams: men’s and women’s basketball and women’s volleyball. As the largest indoor arena in the area, it also will be used for community and regional events, commencements, concerts, special events, student services, fundraising activities, meetings, conferences and trade shows.
The college plans a grand opening during the 2012-13 academic year.
