ECU Athletics Announces Citizens Bank as Official Ticketing Sponsor
ADA, Okla. – In an exciting expansion of its partnership, East Central University Athletics is proud to announce Citizens Bank of Ada as the Official Ticketing Sponsor of ECU Athletics. This latest development builds on a multi-year agreement, granting Citizens Bank exclusivity in featured promotions and branding across ECU Athletics.
"On behalf of East Central University Athletics, I would like to extend our deepest gratitude for Citizen's Bank generous support and partnership," ECU Athletic Director Matt Cole said. "This partnership is a testament to their commitment to supporting local institutions and fostering community spirit."
ECU Athletics recently transitioned to HomeTown Ticketing as the official ticketing partner for all home games at ECU, allowing fans to digitally purchase tickets in advance and conveniently scan them at the gate via their mobile device on gamedays. As part of this enhanced partnership, Citizens Bank's logo will now be integrated across all ticketing platforms and materials, increasing its presence at key fan touchpoints.
In addition to the ticketing presence, Citizens Bank's branding will now extend to our turf. Their logo was prominently installed on Norris Field at Koi Ishto Stadium on Thursday, Sept. 19, in time for the latest ECU home football game on Saturday. This enhanced visibility will be seen by thousands of fans attending ECU and Ada High School games, as well as live stream viewers.
"This visible symbol of their support not only enhances the aesthetic of our field, but also serves as a constant reminder of Citizen Bank's invaluable contribution to our institution," stated Cole.
Further cementing their connection with the ECU community, Citizens Bank continues to offer its custom debit card that offers students, alumni, and fans to showcase their Tiger pride. This card is available to both new and existing customers, offering a unique way to stay connected to ECU Athletics.
"Citizens Bank of Ada is proud to further expand upon our current and longstanding partnership with East Central University," Citizens Bank of Ada President Kassie Cothran stated. "East Central University is a major reason why our community continues to thrive and we hope that this expanded relationship further symbolizes our commitment to the University, as well as the Ada community."
