knology park reverts to old stadium name
The Toronto Blue Jays' spring training home will no longer be known as Knology Park. Knology's five-year naming agreement ended Sept. 30 and the company declined to renew it, said Harry Gross, Dunedin's assistant city manager. "They told us they were looking at their finances and decided to go in a different direction," Gross said. The park, also home to the Blue Jays' Class A minor league affiliate, will revert to its original name, Dunedin Stadium, which was used in its first 14 years of existence. Knology, a southeastern United States communications and entertainment company, paid Dunedin $340,000 and gave the city $60,000 in free advertising in the naming deal. Gross said the city is working on a marketing plan in an effort to find another business that wants to attach its name to the 5,509-seat facility.
