SPOKANE, Wash – The pavilion built in Riverfront Park for Expo ’74 could soon have a new name if the park board approves a contract to sell the naming rights.
The city has been in talks for more than a year and now has a proposed agreement to sell the naming rights to one company for at least 10 years.
The Riverfront Park committee will consider the contract Monday afternoon, but the name of the proposed sponsor won’t be revealed publicly until the deal is approved by the full Park Board.
Board members know the name of the proposed sponsor already.
The deal would bring in $2,636,692.25 over the ten-year term.
Officially named the U.S. Federal Pavilion in 1974, it was a gift to Spokane from U.S. government.
It has evolved from that event space to a renovated venue for concerts, sports and other events.
Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown has expressed that she’s against selling the naming rights.
