Earthquakes Working With Elevate Sports To Find Naming-Rights Sponsor

The Earthquakes are engaged with sales and sponsorship agency Elevate Sports Ventures as the team continues to search for a new naming-rights sponsor. Since the beginning of ‘20, which included locking in a three-year sponsorship deal with Silicon Valley-based Intermedia to serve as the club’s kit sponsor through the end of the ‘22 season, the Earthquakes have been focused on securing a new naming-rights deal. Durham-based telecommunications company Avaya had been the previous sponsor dating back to when the venue first opened for the ‘15 season. Avaya, which then agreed to a 10-year, $20M deal, filed for bankruptcy in January ‘17 and eventually shortened its deal to ‘18 versus ‘24. The Earthquakes’ venue is currently called Earthquakes Stadium. Elevate also works with other current and future MLS clubs like Inter Miami CF, St. Louis City SC, Sacramento Republic FC and Nashville SC.
