The Rhode Island College Corporate Sponsorship Program is a valuable asset to the RIC Athletic Department as it helps provide revenue and support for all of the college’s varsity sports.  RIC Corporate Sponsors receive exposure through venue signage, game program and media guide advertising, internet broadcast commercials, public address announcements, game sponsorship opportunities, web-site advertising, special event sponsorships, and more.  Thanks to our Corporate Sponsors, Rhode Island College Athletics is able to provide all of its teams with additional opportunities to promote their sports, as well as increase their operating budgets.
 




 

VENUE SIGNAGE 

Become a part of the game with signage opportunities at Rhode Island College’s Athletic Venues.  As part of the corporate sponsorship program your business will receive signage at these four venues:

 - The Murray Center: The Murray Center is home to the RIC Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, Intramurals, and Recreation.  It hosts home contests for men’s and women’s basketball, women’s volleyball, wrestling, and gymnastics.  Everyone attending a contest in the Murray Center sees corporate sponsorship advertising banners as they enter the facility.  Along with RIC’s varsity events, the Murray Center hosts a number of outside events that draws over 60,000 people annually.

 - Dayna A. Bazar Softball Field: Signage is placed on the outfield fence for maximum exposure opportunity.  The Bazar Softball Field was selected by the Coaches Association as the best venue for softball in Rhode Island and was also the host of the 2007 Little East Softball Championship.

 

 - Anchorman Baseball Field:  Signage is placed on the outfield fence for maximum exposure opportunity.  The Baseball complex plays host over 125 public contests, including the American Legion State Championship Tournament.

 - Robert J. “Bob” Black Track and Soccer Complex:  Your sign will be placed in a location that will receive exposure to all facility users.  Signage location is based on availability.  The track and soccer complex is home to RIC men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s outdoor track, and women’s lacrosse.  The complex is also home to the Rhode Island Interscholastic Championships for Boys & Girls soccer and lacrosse.

 

MEDIA OPPORTUNITIES

Game Day Programs

Always in high demand, game day programs are available at all Rhode Island College Athletic events.  Game Day Programs are also available for viewing on the team page of the RIC Athletics website following each home event.  Game program advertising is a great way to complement a sponsorship package. - Sample

Media Guide Advertisements

The Rhode Island College Athletic Department produces media guides for each of the three athletic seasons (Fall, Winter, Spring).  These media guides are professionally published and are made available at all home athletic contests.  The media guides are also distributed to students, media, recruits, and families.  Your company will have the opportunity to place an advertisement in any size ranging from one-quarter page to a full page. - Samples

Internet Video and Audio Broadcasts

Reach alumni, students, staff, and fans in Rhode Island and all over the world.  RIC Athletics audio broadcasts the following sports live via the internet: men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s soccer, gymnastics, and wrestling.  Sponsors commercials reach a growing number of listeners of our online broadcasts.  Men’s and women’s basketball games are now being broadcast with live video feeds accessible through the RIC Athletics homepage.  Your signage will receive additional exposure throughout the course of the events.  All broadcasts are archived for listening and viewing once the contests have been completed.  - Archives

Public Address Announcements

Public address announcements are a great way to reach the fans in the arena and at the ball games.  Sponsors will receive announcements that are read multiple times during both our men’s and women’s basketball games as well as our baseball and softball games.

PROMOTIONS & EVENTS

Rhode Island College consistently seeks new ways to enhance the athletic event experience for its fans, young and old. Our fans as well as our Anchorman have become synonymous with athletic contests held in the Murray Center and all of the campus athletic venues. RIC continues to build upon that to round out the entertainment by offering a variety of half-time and intermission contests. We are committed to helping create ways to promote your company, offering positive brand imaging and concepts to fit your needs and budget.

In-Game Promotions

During a break in the action, grab the attention of the captive audience with an in-game promotion. Tie in public address announcements to promote your Lucky Seat of the Game, Lucky Program, Seat Upgrade, SuperFan of the Game or any other fan-friendly game enhancement.

 

Premium Give-Aways

 Imprint your logo on a premium give-away item that fans will both enjoy at the game and take home with them. Rhode Island College’s sports marketing representatives can offer numerous suggestions for your give-away item or can help you create a give-away concept to best suit your brand image.

Game Sponsorship

Averaging close to 75 home games, between the Murray Center and our outdoor facilities, corporate partners have plenty of exciting contests to promote. By becoming a Game Sponsor, partners can supply the premium give-aways, sponsor the halftime or intermission promotion and receive additional public address announcements and video board recognition.
