We had written about the need for corporate involvement in new construction at Rutgers, and we specifically talked about naming rights. Well, our in-state neighbors in West Long Branch had the same idea, and this notice went out from their president to staff:
I am pleased to announce a new partnership with OceanFirst Bank to rename the Multipurpose Activity Center as the OceanFirst Bank Center, effective July 1, 2016.
Our $4 million agreement, which continues through 2036, includes official naming rights and other partnership benefits. In the coming weeks, new signage will be displayed both inside and outside of our premiere athletics venue which has become the envy of our fellow MAAC schools.
