AEG, investors and operators of the stadium, and Toyota Motor Sales USA, announced the new venue, due to open later this month, will be known as Toyota Park. The venue will be home to the Major League Soccer's Chicago Fire.
Said Toyota’s Paul Holdridge: “The Chicago area is one of Toyota's largest and most important markets, and our partnership with AEG presents a great opportunity to increase our ties with the community through the concerts, events and promotions taking place at Toyota Park.
“The sport of soccer has an enormous fan base here in Chicago, and we're very pleased Toyota Park will be the Fire's new home.”
Toyota Park, which is owned by the Village of Bridgeview and operated by a division of AEG, is a multipurpose sports and entertainment venue located approximately 15 minutes southwest of Chicago. The capacity of the stadium will be 20,000 for soccer and other field events and 28,000 for concerts.
Motor firm Toyota has agreed a ten-year naming rights deal for the new Major League Soccer stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois.
