Parks committee extends ballfield naming contest to May 30 and clarifies sponsorship rules
Summary
After limited entries, the parks committee extended the deadline for naming the new ballfield complex to May 30 and clarified that sponsors who fully underwrite the complex will have their names listed beneath the chosen complex name.
The Beresford parks committee told the city council Monday it will extend the deadline for naming the new north ballfield complex to May 30.
Committee members said the initial two-week window produced few submissions and that the extension and a new publicity push should generate more entries. The committee plans to revise sponsorship language circulated earlier to make clear that contest winners will name the complex (for example, "Legacy Field" as a hypothetical) and that a sponsor who fully funds the complex would have their name displayed beneath the chosen name.
Council members discussed additional outreach, including posting signs at the ball fields and using social media. No formal vote was required; the council received the parks committee—9s recommendation to extend the contest and to clarify sponsorship verbiage.
