BB Print has thrown its support behind regional sport and entertainment by signing a major sponsorship deal.
Mackay Regional Council and BB Print Pty Ltd have signed off on a four-year agreement to cement the naming rights of Mackay’s 12,000-capacity stadium.
Mayor Greg Williamson said with naming rights of the Stadium Mackay expiring on August 18 this year, council invited tenders for the rights on June 14, 2024.
“It was tremendous to see BB Print once again step up and back our regional stadium and support our community and sporting teams,” Mayor Williamson said.
“BB Print has a long history of giving back to our community, so it was fantastic to see them submit the winning tender for the naming rights,” he said.
“This sponsorship demonstrates that their commitment to the Mackay region is unwavering.”
BB Print partner Gary Bye said tendering for the naming rights for another four years was a simple decision.
He said for them it was as straightforward as a local-born business offering local support.
“For us it’s important to have Stadium Mackay supported by a local business, rather than a national company with offices in capital cities,” Mr Bye said.
“We are also mad-keen football fans here at BB Print, so it’s a great way to get behind the Cutters and Rugby League in general,” he said.
Mr Bye said he was excited to see what the future held for BB Print Stadium Mackay.
“The Mackay Stadium master plan is an exciting prospect, and I really look forward to seeing the stadium expand,” he said.
Mayor Williamson said it was tremendous to have BB Print on board at this exciting time in the stadium’s development.
He said the master plan for BB Print Stadium Mackay envisaged a premier boutique stadium and rugby league precinct.
“If council can secure funding for the eastern stand, there’s capacity for an additional 6900 seats and that would be a game changer,” he said.
The BB Print Stadium Mackay is a 12,000-capacity venue comprising an international standard rectangular field and a 1500-seat grandstand and supporting facilities.
Since its opening in August 2011, the venue has hosted NRL matches, the Professional Bull Riding Series, was the venue for the 2012 North Queensland Games Opening Ceremony, hosted more than 10,000 fans to a Kiss Concert in 2013 and an evening with Sir Elton John in 2017.
