WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Executives from the Astros, Nationals and FITTEAM Global will announce FITTEAM as the naming rights partner of The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches on Wednesday in a ceremony at home plate.
At that time, the new facility logo will be unveiled and executives will discuss the partnership, which is for 12 years, according to the Washington Post. FITTEAM Global is a dietary supplement maker based in Palm Beach Gardens that operates with a multilevel marketing-style compensation structure.
The $144 million complex, shared by both teams, opened in 2017 after contractors scurried to put the finishing touches on the ballpark last spring. The ballpark, which is built on a former landfill just west of Interstate I-95, is funded primarily by county tourist tax revenue and the state of Florida, which was driven to keep both teams from moving to Arizona.
