SALT LAKE CITY—America First Credit Union said it has entered into a 10-year naming rights agreement with the University of Utah Athletics Department to name the Utah baseball program’s future on-campus home America First Ballpark.
The park is expected to open in 2025.
Plans call for a 1,200-seat ballpark with fan amenities that will include concessions, restrooms, ticket office and merchandise sales, as well as facilities for the Utah baseball program, including locker rooms, coaches’ offices, medical space, equipment storage and indoor batting/pitching cages.
The total project is expected to cost $35 million, with the majority of the funding privately raised.
‘Hitting a Home Run’
“America First is grateful for our continued and expanded relationship with Utah Athletics as their official credit union and now naming rights partner for the new baseball stadium,” said Tammy Gallegos, chief marketing and strategic engagement officer at America First. “We believe our two organizations are hitting a home run in creating meaningful experiences for the community and helping our athletes and members alike build a bright financial future one inning at a time.”
Long-Term Partnership
America First Credit Union noted it has been a long-term partner of Utah Athletics, including:
- Offering a “Utes With Wings” program, which supports scholarships, facilities and programs for the Utes’ women’s sports teams, while also being a prominent contributor in creating meaningful opportunities for Utah’s student-athletes to benefit from Name, Image and Likeness activity.
- A Utah Athletics-branded Visa debit card.
