Brighton and Hove Albion nets stadium deal
Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club (BHAFC) has announced that its stadium at Falmer, East Sussex, will be called the American Express Community Stadium after securing a sponsorship deal with the company.
The financial and network services provider is one of the area's largest private-sector employers and has finalised a "multi-year naming rights" agreement with the League One club, which aims to move to the 22,500-seat venue in time for the 2011-12 season. Designed by KSS Architects, the stadium is being delivered by Buckingham Group Construction and will house BHAFC's charitable arm - Albion in the Community - to provide education, skills training, health and social inclusion services.
Michael Edwards, Senior Vice President at American Express, said: "As the city's largest private-sector employer, this partnership underscores our long term commitment to the area and builds upon our thirty-year heritage of supporting local community initiative."
