Fort Wayne FC News Release


FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Fort Wayne Football Club today announced a multiyear naming rights partnership with Ruoff Mortgage, establishing Ruoff Mortgage Stadium as the official name of the soccer-specific venue in development at Bass Road and I-69.

The agreement marks a significant milestone for the club as it continues its inaugural season in professional soccer and prepares to open one of the premier entertainment venues in the region. Fort Wayne FC has opened its inaugural USL League One season with three road matches and will host its first match at Ruoff Mortgage Stadium on May 2 at 7:30 p.m.

"Taking on the naming rights for what will now be Ruoff Mortgage Stadium is a natural and exciting evolution of our partnership with Fort Wayne Football Club," Ruoff Mortgage President Blake Music said. "We are thrilled to help lay the foundation for a premier entertainment destination in Northeast Indiana while continuing to support the club's mission to make the game of soccer more accessible, for old and new fans alike. This venue represents our commitment to providing an elevated, world-class experience for the communities we serve and the region at large."

Ruoff Mortgage Stadium, a 100% privately funded facility, will be the largest outdoor venue in Northeast Indiana with a matchday capacity of more than 9,200 spectators. Amenities will include seat-back style seating, pitch-level suites, a fan zone park, a team store, four locker rooms, and a 120'x35' state-of-the-art LED videoboard - the second widest in the state.

Formerly known as Fort Wayne FC Park, Ruoff Mortgage Stadium will host more than soccer. The venue will accommodate other sports competitions, concerts, trade shows, and weddings, as it becomes a hub for regional sports and entertainment tourism.

"We're pleased to be partnering with Ruoff Mortgage, an organization with a rich history of involvement in sports and entertainment throughout the country," said Scott Sproat, Chief Operations Officer of Fort Wayne FC. "Ruoff Mortgage places tremendous value on partnerships with sports organizations - such as the NFL, NBA, IndyCar and NASCAR - and entertainment venues like the beloved Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville. Ruoff Mortgage is dedicated to strengthening the fabric of our communities by pairing expert home financing with deep-rooted local support. This makes Ruoff Mortgage the ideal partner to pair the objectives of our club with the extended benefits that will be brought to our community by Ruoff Mortgage Stadium."

As part of the partnership, Ruoff Mortgage will receive prominent brand integration across Fort Wayne Football Club platforms, including a logo presence on club kits, in-stadium signage, and additional marketing and community-facing initiatives designed to elevate the fan experience and expand the club's reach throughout Northeast Indiana.

The partnership with Ruoff Mortgage reflects a shared commitment to community engagement, long-term investment, and creating memorable experiences for fans and families across the region.
