The new home of the Rhode Island FC soccer team in Pawtucket will be called Centreville Bank Stadium.
The naming rights agreement was announced during a news conference Tuesday.
“Centreville Bank Stadium will be the outdoor sports and entertainment epicenter of Rhode Island and beyond,” Rhode Island FC Co-Founder and Chairman Brett M. Johnson said in a statement. “We could not be more excited to expand our partnership with Centreville Bank. We share a vision to be a beacon of community pride, economic growth and development in Pawtucket and the region.”
West Warwick-based Centreville was founded in 1828. It has more than $2.8 billion in assets and 22 locations in Rhode Island and eastern Connecticut.
Rhode Island FC opens its home season on Saturday, May 3, against San Antonio FC.
“This partnership will allow us to enhance the stadium experience for everyone who comes through our gates, as we create a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere for all,” Centreville Bank Stadium General Manager Paul Byrne said. “Centreville Bank’s commitment to progress and building strong relationships will allow us to make Centreville Bank Stadium a premier sports and entertainment destination.”
