The Potomac Nationals (High A; Carolina League) have sold naming rights to the playing field at their home ballpark, which is now known as Northwest Federal Field at Pfitzner Stadium. This is the result of a multi-year agreement with Northwest Federal Credit Union.
Northwest Federal Credit Union provides financial products and services to its members with seven public branches in Northern Virginia, 5,000 shared branches nationwide and 33,000+ free ATMs from coast to coast.
As the field naming rights partner of the Potomac Nationals at Pfitzner Stadium, Northwest Federal Credit Union will become the “Official Credit Union” of the Potomac Nationals.
Along with the field naming rights partnership, Northwest Federal will also be the naming rights partner of the Pfitzner Stadium Field Tarp and the Pfitzner Stadium Bullpen Picnic Area.
“We are thrilled to be the official credit union for the Potomac Nationals, and partner with this great organization, which has long-standing roots in the communities that we serve,” said Northwest Federal Credit Union President/CEO, Jeff Bentley.
“With our Manassas branch located right around the corner, we plan to enjoy P-Nats games with our members and employees on a regular basis in the family-friendly stadium.”
P-Nats fans won’t have to look far to see Northwest Federal Credit Union branding at The Pfitz, as there will be significant dominant-identity signage throughout the ballpark, while digital advertisements will be displayed on the outfield jumbo-tron video board.
Northwest Federal Credit Union will receive additional prominent marketing elements as part of their field naming rights partnership with the Potomac Nationals.
“The Potomac Nationals are thrilled to announce that this partnership with Northwest Federal Credit Union represents a joint agreement in which the Home of the Potomac Nationals will now be known as Northwest Federal Field at Pfitzner Stadium,” said Potomac Nationals Chairman & CEO, Art Silber.
