November 19, 2007- Spokane, WA: The Spokane Shock announced today that the Spokane Indian Tribe has entered a three-year corporate sponsorship with the team. This partnership will give the Spokane Tribe exclusively naming rights to the field, which will now be named "Spokane Tribe Field at the Spokane Arena."
"This is a great day for the Shock," Owner/CEO Brady Nelson said. "The Spokane Tribe has maintained an active role supporting the Spokane community and this partnership is an extension of that relationship."
"The Spokane Tribe is proud to partner with such a quality organization such as Shock Football," Tribal Spokesperson Jamie Sijohn said. "The team and its administration hold similar family goals as the Spokane Tribe and we believe this is a win-win partnership."
In what will be the first of many events, the Shock and the Spokane Tribe are teaming up this coming Monday, November 19th in support of KZZU's Dave, Ken and Molly's annual Christmas Wish Drive.
