USA Softball, the National Governing Body for the sport of softball in the United States, has announced the commencement of a search for the first-ever naming rights partner for its softball complex in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
The facility, which serves as the headquarters for USA Softball, hosts numerous local, regional and national softball events throughout the year.
The search for a naming rights partner presents a unique opportunity for a company to align its brand with one of the most iconic and successful organizations in the sport of softball. As the official National Governing Body for softball in the United States, USA Softball has a rich history of excellence in the sport, having won multiple Olympic and World Championship titles.
“This is an exciting opportunity for a company to not only support the growth and development of softball in the United States, but to also align its brand with a sport that has a deep connection with families, communities and fans across the country,” said USA Softball Chief Executive Officer, Craig Cress.
“We look forward to partnering with a company that shares our commitment to excellence and our passion for supporting the Oklahoma City community and the growth of softball.”
The USA Softball Hall of Fame Complex garners an impressive resume of elite softball events including pre-Olympic tour stops, the International Cup of Softball, Border Battle, various USA Softball National Championships, and the highly-touted NCAA Women’s College World Series (WCWS) – an event which the facility has played host for over 30 years.
The fan-favorite collegiate event will remain at the USA Softball Hall of Fame Complex through 2035, welcoming sellout crowds from across the country to experience the best-of-the-best compete at the Softball Capital of the World®.
Since its completion in Oklahoma City in 1987, the USA Softball Hall of Fame Complex now amasses four fields – including the legendary USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium – OGE Energy Field, which recently received a $27.5 million facelift with an added upper deck that increased capacity by 4,000 seats, a three-story press box as well as upgraded ticket windows and complex entrances.
A sponsor of the USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium since 2014, OGE Energy will remain the sponsor of the stadium field while INTEGRIS will remain the sponsor for field four.
