SAUGET — The Gateway Grizzlies are proud to announce a multi-year partnership with Arsenal Business Growth, solidifying the company as the new official naming rights sponsor of the Grizzlies’ stadium, now known as Arsenal BG Ballpark. An announcement will be made on Opening Day, May 16.
The ballpark remains owned by the Village of Sauget; this agreement marks an exciting new era for the Grizzlies and their fans. The naming rights sponsorship is a strategic partnership that places Arsenal Business Growth at the forefront of community engagement and regional visibility, aligning with the team’s ongoing commitment to innovation, entertainment, and business leadership in the Metro East area.
“We are thrilled to partner with Arsenal Business Growth and usher in this exciting chapter at Arsenal BG Ballpark,” said Kurt Ringkamp, General Manager of The Gateway Grizzlies. “This partnership reflects our shared values of growth, impact, and excellence—both on and off the field.”
Arsenal Business Growth became interested in the opportunity because it provides a unique opportunity to help Arsenal BG recruit and retain talent, give back to the Sauget community and beyond through sponsored events, and so much more. The naming rights agreement spans eight years, with the option to extend the partnership on a year-by-year basis up to 12 years. This collaboration follows the Grizzlies’past stadium naming partnerships with GCS Credit Union (2006–2022), which recently rebranded as Revity Credit Union, and a brief period as Grizzlies Ballpark (2023–2024).
“Arsenal BG is thrilled about our new partnership with the Gateway Grizzlies,” said Aaron Asher, Owner of Arsenal Business Growth. “Exploring opportunities to invest in, and partner with, Greater St. Louis Area organizations is top-of-mind for Arsenal BG, and this opportunity was one we could not pass up. We are looking forward to many years of rooting for the Gateway Grizzlies!”
The Grizzlies will host their Opening Day on May 16, 2025, at Arsenal BG Ballpark as they take on the Trois-Rivières Aigles. The home opener will feature a Tom Calhoun bobblehead giveaway and postgame fireworks, promising fans a night of unforgettable entertainment.
