EagleBank Announces Five-Year Partnership with D.C. United
March 12 2018 - 2:05PM
EagleBank, the largest community bank in the Washington metro
region and Major League Soccer club D.C. United are pleased to
announce a five-year sponsorship of the team and stadium. As part
of the arrangement, EagleBank will be the official bank of D.C.
United, providing a series of banking and financial services.
The partnership will also include the creation of the
“EagleBank Club,” at Audi Field which will provide an exclusive
destination for team fans and patrons to enjoy premium seating and
entertainment right in front of the action.
D.C. United previously obtained a $25-million
funding package from EagleBank to install state-of-the-art energy
and water efficiency equipment at Audi Field, including a storm
water retention system. The measures, built through the D.C.
Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program, have put Audi Field
at the forefront of green buildings in the District.
“We are delighted to enter into this exciting
partnership as D.C. United’s official bank and as a founding
partner of the new Audi Field,” said Ron Paul, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of EagleBank. “As a community business bank, we
are proud to work closely with iconic D.C.-based businesses and
organizations that enrich the lives of our residents, workforce and
visitors from around the world. D.C. United have a robust fan
base in the area, and we look forward to a successful partnership
that will support this incredibly talented local team.”
"We feel honored to grow our relationship with
EagleBank both at Audi Field and in the communities we
serve," Jason Levien, United CEO and managing general partner,
said. "Serving the community is core to our principles and
this strategic partnership with a leading community business bank
allows us to engage our fans in unique ways both at Audi Field and
throughout the District.”
D.C. United’s new 20,000-capacity stadium,
featuring 500,000 total square feet of mixed-use retail and
residential space, is slated for official opening on July 14, 2018
in Buzzard Point. The team averages approximately 18 home
games per year, along with other events during the season. Since
2006, Major League Soccer has grown faster than any other U.S.
sport league, and the team boasts over one million fans in the D.C.
Metro region. The stadium will also host cultural and community
events and concerts throughout the year.
