Dodger Stadium, the third-oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball, has announced a new sponsorship deal that will put a corporate name on the field for the first time in the stadium's history.

Why it matters

This marks a significant shift for the iconic Dodger Stadium, which has long maintained a traditional baseball aesthetic without corporate branding on the playing surface. The new sponsorship deal reflects the growing commercialization of professional sports and the pressure for teams to generate additional revenue streams.

The details

The field at Dodger Stadium will now be known as "Crypto.com Field" as part of a multi-year partnership between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the cryptocurrency exchange platform. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but it is expected to provide a major revenue boost for the Dodgers organization.

  • The sponsorship deal was announced on March 27, 2026.
