In what they are calling 'a major strategic move,' the field at Commonwealth Stadium will now be named 'The Brick Field at Commonwealth Stadium' during Eskimos games and team events.

The five-year field naming rights partnership deal with The Brick was announced Wednesday.

'The Brick's commitment to families and the overall community is always apparent and it led to this wonderful relationship,' Len Rhodes, president and CEO of the Edmonton Eskimos, said in a statement.

Although the exact financial terms were not disclosed, it is being described as the largest corporate partnership of its kind for the club.

The deal includes the addition of some new amenities for the Eskimos' youngest fans.

There are so many tournaments offered that you rarely know what the level of talent will be at each tournament. You also spend the entire weekend at the hotel, rink or a restaurant because game times are spread out. The BRICK Series events are designed to provide players with top competition and families with great experiences throughout the spring and summer in some of North America's best cities.

What ages/birth years does the BRICK Series offer?

Whether it's the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, The Mall of America in the Twin Cities, a Red Sox game at historic Fenway Park in Boston, hiking and zip lining at the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge in Vancouver, seeing one of the world-class shows in Las Vegas or going to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville our players, parents, and families will not just see the airport, hotel, and rink in these world-class cities.

All events will only have 8-12 teams per division to ensure elite fields. Teams will have a 5 game guarantee and with such a small, controlled field of teams, you are guaranteed to have competitive games.
