Want to support your hometown hockey team as they compete during the 2024-25 season at the Ford Center? We have opportunities available for your company to sponsor the team in a variety of ways including full season packages, partial season packages, as well as single game packages. Sponsorship allows for your company’s name and logo appear in front of thousands of cheering hockey fans and allow the community to see you are support your local hockey team. Below are a list of available inventory items:
DASHER BOARDS
One of the most visible areas to display your logo is right where the action is! You can get one or two eight-foot or four-foot banners placed on our dasher boards. When the fans are locked on the players, you'll be seen as well.
ON-ICE LOGOS
The play on the ice can take place right over your logo! There are several key spots where your logo will be seen all throughout the game.
JUMBOTRON AND SIDE RIBBON ADVERTISING
Get noticed and have your name in lights! Our Jumbotron and side LED ribbons can get your word out in style. We can tailor a package just for you, whether it's a slide, accompanied with a live read from our PA Announcer, or a :15 or :30 commercial.
ZAMBONI WRAP
We have two Zambonis and they always have a captive audiance as they zoom around and clean the ice. (Three Year contract required, plus cost of decals and wrapping.) Both Zamboni packages are currently sold.
ARENA BANNERS
All around the arena, you'll see banners placed on the railing at the top of the lower bowl seating. As fans are filing in and out, throughout the game, they'll be passing right by your advertising. Normal banner size is six-foot wide and about three feet long.
IN-GAME "CAMS" AND CONTESTS
Whether it's an activity like the "Kiss Cam" or the "Dance Cam", or if it is a contest on the ice like the infamous "Taco Races", we can incorporate your brand with the family-driven fun we provide each home game. Your logo can be part of the fantastic elements we offer our fans.
CHUCK A PUCK
During the second intermission of each game, fans will throw special foam pucks on the ice for a chance to win great prizes from our sponsors! For almost all of our twenty-eight regular season home games, your banner will be placed on the ice. You'll supply the prize for each game.
