THE Hunter’s major regional sporting venue will now be known as Hunter Stadium, following today’s announcement that Ausgrid will not participate in the tender process for the future naming rights of what was previously known as Ausgrid Stadium.
Ausgrid’s managing director George Maltabarow said Ausgrid has been the naming rights sponsor for the past 10 years but it was time to re-focus the company’s support for the local community in other areas, particularly by helping to strengthen support for maths, science and engineering in schools and universities.
Ausgrid’s naming rights for the stadium ended in December 2011
The tender process for new naming rights will be co-ordinated by the Office of Communities.
