What you need to know: Businesses and organizations may provide sponsorships to earn naming rights at six major district buildings and athletic spaces.

The details: AISD is offering naming rights at the following facilities:

  • AISD Performing Arts Center
  • House Park Field
  • Nelson Field
  • Burger Center

Multiple levels of naming rights opportunities are available, from individual spaces like press boxes to marquee facilities, according to Austin Ed Fund information. The AISD education foundation will oversee the program, including all naming agreements and fund management.
