Qwest Communications International, Inc. and the Seattle Seahawks have formed a sponsorship agreement to name the stadium named “Qwest Field.”
In addition to naming rights, the agreement includes Qwest’s increased support for local Seahawks charities. The agreement also calls for Qwest to be the telecommunications supplier to Qwest Field, the stadium and exhibition center operator, First & Goal, and all other Seahawks facilities.
Qwest is paying $4 million to $5 million a year for the naming rights. The contract is for between 15 and 20 years, according to published reports.
Denver-based Qwest spokesman Steve Hammack said that Seattle’s Public Stadium Authority would not allow the company to release the terms of the deal.
The Bonham Group, Denver, brokered the deal.
