February 17, 2010 --- Coolray Heating and Cooling Inc., a locally owned and operated air conditioning, heating and plumbing service provider based in Marietta, Georgia has reached a 16-year agreement with the Atlanta Braves to be the stadium naming sponsor of the Gwinnett Braves home field beginning with the 2010 season.
The ballpark will be known as “Coolray Field”
Braves officials wanted to develop relationships with local companies for the naming rights and Coolray stepped forward. Coolray has been serving Gwinnett County since 1966 and Ken Haines, President of Coolray, wanted to help preserve the local identity of the stadium.
"All of us at Coolray wanted to give back to a community in which many of us live and work”, said Haines. There is a strong affinity between the fans and their hometown team and we acknowledge our responsibility to support something that families all across the metro area genuinely enjoy. We’re excited about this partnership and look forward to the opportunity to grow alongside the Braves and families in Gwinnett County.
Mike Plant, Atlanta Braves Executive Vice President of Business Operations, said “After our first full season of operation, the Gwinnett Braves continue to showcase our strong ties to the community and we are proud to partner with a great community-oriented company. Coolray Field will continue to be a great place to bring family and friends and we welcome Coolray into our family.”
There will be upcoming events and promotions designed to further Coolray's partnership with both the Braves’ fans and Gwinnett County residents. For a list of those events go to www.gwinnettbraves.com.
