The Penguins and Peoples Natural Gas announced a "major partnership agreement" this morning that will give the North Shore-based gas utility the naming rights of an entrance at Consol Energy Center.
The partnership is a "multi-year agreement," but other terms of the deal were not disclosed. The new "Peoples Gate" will be at Fifth Avenue and Washington Place, site of the former American Eagle Outfitters Gate. The new signage will be installed during the Penguins' preseason.
As part of the sponsorship agreement, Peoples will donate $10 to the Dollar Energy Fund for every Penguins' shot on goal at Consol Energy Center this season.
