MercyRockford Putting Name On Sportscore Facilities

Rockford Park District

MercyRockford Health System has obtained naming rights for the Rockford Park District’s tournament complexes in Rockford and Loves Park.  In return, MercyRockford will pay the district $2 million over 10 years.   The facility in Rockford will be renamed MercyRockford Sportscore 1 and the Loves Park facility MercyRockford Sportscore 2.   

In November, UW Health agreed to pay the park district $1.9 million over 10 years for naming rights on a third facility being built in downtown Rockford.  It will be called the UW Health Sports Factory.

MercyRockford Health System and the Rockford Park District are both underwriters of WNIJ.
