The New York Mets have reached another new sponsorship deal for their new stadium- this time, with no TARP money required.
Citi Field, which will open in Queens next month, will feature more than 800 Aquos TV monitors from Sharp, the company and team announced. The TVs will be placed throughout the stadium, including a 108-inch screen in the ballpark’s lobby and several others in various suites and event spaces. In addition, Sharp has become a sponsor of the Mets/Sharp Electronics Student-Athlete Leadership Conference Series, and provide signage throughout the stadium.
The Aquos is the official HDTV of major league baseball; the Yankees, who are opening their own new ballpark this spring, reached a deal with Sony.
"Our relationship with the Mets is one of the longest standing local partnerships in Sharp’s company history in the U.S.," Sharp’s associate vice president, Andrew Kritzer, said as part of the announcement. "We truly value the relationship that we’ve forged with the Mets that allows us to both enhance the fan experience in a way that only Sharp can, and to team up for an important program for the community."
The Mets’ naming rights deal with Citigroup has drawn fire due to the bank’s receipt of billions in government bailout money.
