The blue strip of court inside Pauley Pavilion in front of the team benches now features “WESCOM” in white block letters as part of a 10-year, $38-milllion sponsorship agreement between the credit union and the school. The 53-year-old arena will be known as Edwin W. Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom.
“What an incredible opportunity,” Darren Williams, president and CEO of Wescom, said in a telephone interview. “It is truly an iconic facility. We’re thrilled to have our name associated with Pauley Pavilion and glad that doing so will help with the ongoing preservation of the arena.”
An unspecified portion of the sponsorship money will be used for long-term maintenance of the arena, which underwent extensive renovations before the 2012-13 season.
