The home of the Clinton LumberKings (Low A; Midwest League) has a new name, as the former Ashford University Field will become NelsonCorp Field under the terms of a three-year naming rights deal.
It’s the third naming rights deal since the currrent home of the LumberKings opened in 1937.
“We are very excited to be partnering with NelsonCorp Wealth Management,” said LumberKings General Manger Ted Tornow. “David (NelsonCorp President and CEO) and his staff have been huge supporters and the timing was right for both of us.”
“The history of professional baseball in Clinton has been a fixture connecting many generations. By supporting this gem, we hope to keep baseball a vital part of our community for many years to come,” said NelsonCorp President and CEO David Nelson.
According to a press release issued by the team:
NelsonCorp Wealth Management has served the financial needs of others for more than 35 years, growing from three associates in a small Illinois office to more than a dozen team members in multiple locations. They now oversee branch offices from Iowa to Hawaii. Their growth has allowed them to build a team with a blend of experiences and education that delivers the best possible service to their customers.
The logo for NelsonCorp Field was created by Ryan Foose of Fooser Sports. In addition to working with hundreds of organizations, teams and schools around the world, he also designed Clinton’s Copa identity, the Elotes, as well as the Copa de la Diversión branding.
