WEST PALM BEACH, FL - Internationally acclaimed multi-platinum, diamond-certified, artist, producer, songwriter, director, and CEO, Travis Scott, who is the owner of the CACTI Hard Seltzer brand, joined the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals for a very special ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday night in West Palm Beach. The event was held prior to the Astros and Nationals first Spring Training game to officially celebrate and recognize the rebrand of the Spring Training ballpark to CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches.

For the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Scott was joined by Astros All-Star Alex Bregman and Nationals All-Star Josiah Gray, Hall of Famers Reggie Jackson and Jeff Bagwell, former Nationals All-Star and World Series champion R**yan Zimmerman** and members of both clubs’ ownership groups. After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Scott threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

The multi-year, naming-rights agreement for CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches is a collaboration between the Astros and Nationals with Scott, who is the owner of the CACTI Hard Seltzer brand. As part of the agreement, the ballpark is undergoing a complete rebrand throughout, and CACTI brand product is now available for fans at concessions stands at the Astros and Nationals Spring Training games. Additionally, the new CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches brand can now be seen throughout the ballpark through signage on top of the dugouts, at multiple entrances, on concession stands, on the top of the large scoreboard, on dozens of pole banners and on the shirts and caps of staff members and more. CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches brand can also be found on merchandise sold inside the team store.

“With the official U.S. launch of CACTI coming, I am psyched to be partnering with the Houston Astros and the Washington Nationals for CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches,” Scott said.

“The Houston Astros are excited for the opportunity to work with Travis Scott and the CACTI Hard Seltzer team,” said Creighton Kahoalii, Astros Senior Vice President, Affiliate Business Operations. “This collaboration supports our continued efforts to provide a great fan experience not just during Spring Training, but at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches throughout the year.”

“We are pleased to partner with CACTI Hard Seltzer and the people behind the brand to continue offering our guests a first-class experience,” said Alan H. Gottlieb, Chief Operating Officer, Lerner Sports Group. “This relationship will ensure that CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches remains a top entertainment destination, attracting individuals from around the area for sporting events, concerts and more.”

The Astros and Nationals have shared the newly-named CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches since it was opened in 2017, with each club having separate, state-of-the art training facilities on opposite sides of the ballpark. Since arriving in West Palm Beach in 2017, the Astros and Nationals have combined to win three World Series titles, with the Nationals winning in 2019 and the Astros in 2017 and 2022.
