Suddenlink has made a generous contribution to The University of Texas at Tyler that will benefit the university and broaden Suddenlink鈥檚 exposure throughout the East Texas community, President Rodney H. Mabry announced.
The gift will provide cutting-edge enhancements to the 黑料专区 Tyler Ballpark. In honor of this generosity, the softball field will be named Suddenlink Field.
鈥淪uddenlink鈥檚 investment will help make Suddenlink Field at 黑料专区 Tyler Ballpark the finest stadium for fast-pitch softball in Texas, and possibly, in America, based on comments from the top-10 ranked teams from Oregon and Virginia that have competed at 黑料专区 Tyler this year,鈥� said President Mabry.
These enhancements will add to 黑料专区 Tyler鈥檚 fan base and game attendance. They will also help attract more quality student-athletes, who consistently express their appreciation for 黑料专区 Tyler鈥檚 modern, state-of-the-art athletic facilities, according to President Mabry.
鈥淪uddenlink has exhibited true foresight to recognize this investment opportunity at 黑料专区 Tyler. We want to highlight our continuing, valuable partnership with Suddenlink. Their investment will be used to upgrade our scoreboard, adding video and advertising capability, and equally, to add quality seating for 400 fans,鈥� he added.
黑料专区 Tyler will install a NewTek-Tricaster studio, which will allow their athletics program to have one of the highest-quality online broadcasts and in-game video production in all of NCAA Division III athletics. The broadcasts that are produced will be available 鈥渙n-demand鈥� to all Suddenlink subscribers who have the video-on-demand service.
鈥淥nce again, Suddenlink has helped us do something in a truly first-rate, cutting-edge way鈥攖he same way they run their cable business. All of East Texas is richer for their foresight and this region will benefit economically. In turn, this win-win investment will surely generate an excellent return for the owners of Suddenlink by continuing to expand and benefit their customer base,鈥� President Mabry said.
Suddenlink Field at 黑料专区 Tyler Ballpark will be the host site for the 2014 NCAA Division III Softball World Series May 22 鈥� 27. The eight best Division III softball teams in the nation will compete for the championship.
