AT&T Park in San Francisco has become Oracle Park in new sponsorship deal

By TechTaffy Desk

The San Francisco Giants and Oracle have signed a 20-year partnership providing Oracle with the naming rights to the ballpark through 2038, renaming AT&T Park in San Francisco to Oracle Park.

The Giants’ previous naming rights agreement with AT&T ran through the end of 2019.  However, in preliminary renewal discussions, AT&T informed the Giants that changes to AT&T’s corporate sponsorship strategy would give the Giants the opportunity to seek another naming rights partner and begin a new agreement one year early, Oracle said in a statement.

Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
