StubHub gains brand presence at FedEx Field

Online ticket exchange StubHub has agreed a naming rights deal for a hospitality seating area at FedEx Field, home to NFL American football franchise the Washington Redskins.

StubHub became the official ticket marketplace for FedEx Field in 2011, having partnered the Redskins between 2006 and 2011, and will now sponsor the stadium’s Premium Club Level seating area through to 2018.

The agreement includes signage space for StubHub throughout FedEx Field, a similar arrangement to those enjoyed by the respective naming sponsors of the Audi Club and Bud Light Party Pavilion at the 85,000 capacity venue.

The StubHub Club launched on Monday night when the Redskins hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers in a pre-season game.

The eBay-owned company also holds naming rights to StubHub Center, home to Major League Soccer teams LA Galaxy and Chivas USA.
