“Finding a naming rights partner for the Rose Garden is one of our priorities entering the new calendar year. It’s a critical partnership for us that will have a long-term impact on our franchise,” said Trail Blazers President and CEO Chris McGowan. “Working with Premier will bolster our search process and extend our reach. We’re confident that we will find a partner that the city of Portland and the Trail Blazers brand can proudly associate with.”
Premier’s naming rights successes for sports venues include the Oakland A’s and Raiders’ O.co Coliseum, the Philadelphia Union’s PPL Park, San Diego State University’s Viejas Arena and (former) Pizza Hut Park in Dallas, TX. Premier also secured the naming rights of Dolby Theatre (home of the Academy Awards) and TCL Chinese Theatre (formerly Grauman’s Chinese Theatre).
