Major League Soccer club Real Salt Lake has reportedly secured a stadium naming rights deal with America First Credit Union worth nearly $100 million over 15 years, per Sportico.
As part of the pact, America First — a federally chartered credit union based in Utah that has partnered with RSL since 2005 — will have branding and activations throughout the venue.
- Formerly known as Rio Tinto Stadium, the venue will be renamed America First Field.
- Previously, global mining company Rio Tinto paid $2 million annually for naming rights.
In January, Smith Entertainment Group and David Blitzer — co-owner of the Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Devils, Cleveland Guardians, and Crystal Palace — purchased RSL for $400 million.
The deal included private equity firm and MLB, NBA, NHL, and PLL investor Arctos Sports Partners as a limited partner.

Inter Miami is nearing a deal for a new $1 billion stadium and complex.
