New first name for Ballpark of the Palm Beaches: FITTEAM

The Washington Nationals, long engrossed in a off-and-on hunt for a naming rights deal for Nationals Park, took less than a year to agree to such an arrangement for their new spring training home.

The Nationals and their fellow tenants, the Houston Astros, reached a 12-year deal to sell the naming rights to the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches to FITTEAM, a fitness beverage company located in nearby Palm Beach Gardens. The terms of the deal — both in terms of revenue and how it will be split — were not disclosed. The teams will unveil the new stadium name — FITTEAMBallpark of the Palm Beaches — at a joint event at the facility next week.

At FITTEAM , we are extremely proud of our partnership with two of Major League Baseball’s premier organizations – the Houston Astros, and the Washington Nationals. Our joint vision of excellence, better health & wellness, giving back and creating a better community, has created an incredible alliance. Together we would like to welcome fans to the FITTEAM Ballpark of the Palm Beaches, said Chris Hummel, CEO of FITTEAM Global.

The 160-acre complex features a state-of-the-art stadium as its centerpiece, along with a dozen practice fields. Fans will find a 360-degree concourse, the Banana Boat Lawn, suites and party decks in which to enjoy an all-encompassing Spring Training experience. Beyond Spring Training, the FITTEAM Ballpark of the Palm Beaches is a frequent location for community events, sports tournaments, corporate functions, concerts and festivals. The campus includes a City Park featuring a large playground, splash park, four lighted basketball courts and a 1.8 mile walking trail available to the public on a daily basis.
