Funko and Everett AquaSox Unveil the New Funko Field
March 20 2019 - 5:30AM
Funko, Inc. ("Funko,” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:FNKO), a leading
pop culture consumer products company, today announced that the
home field of Minor League Baseball team, the Everett AquaSox, a
Seattle Mariners Class A affiliate, will be renamed Funko Field
beginning this spring.
For the next six years, Funko will be the naming
rights partner for the home team, which includes signage on the
field and around the stadium, as well as branding on ballpark staff
uniforms. Additionally, all Friday home games will be designated
“Funko Fridays,” and will include promotions and giveaways for
AquaSox ticket holders.
“Funko has been a prominent fixture in the
community since moving to downtown Everett. Our commitment to the
community and our employees has never wavered,” said Brian
Mariotti, Chief Executive Officer of Funko. “This partnership is a
terrific opportunity to further engage with our fans and neighbors
by cheering on the home team together.”
“We are thrilled to announce this partnership with
Funko. With a shared commitment to the local community, this will
be a homerun for everyone for years to come,” added Danny Tetzlaff,
AquaSox General Manager. “Partnering with the iconic Funko brand
will make a night at the ballpark even more memorable!”
The process of incorporating the Funko branding
assets throughout the ballpark has already begun. Much of it is
expected to be completed by Opening Day on June 21, when the
AquaSox meet the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes. The six-year commitment
runs through 2024 with the option to extend.
