Humble car dealer spends $100,000 to help Humble ISD - Kingwood

A Humble car dealership has purchased the naming rights to the Home Plaza of Humble ISD's Turner Stadium for $100,000.

In a five-year deal, Humble's Texan GMC-Buick  purchased the naming rights to the Home Plaza at Humble ISD's Turner Stadium. This sponsorship is the first of its kind in Texas, says Dr. Guy Sconzo, superintendent of Humble ISD.

At a press conference held Jan. 5,  Operating Manager Bert Brocker of Texan GMC-Buick was joined by Humble ISD co-athletic directors Troy Kite and Krista Malmstrom at the newly renovated Turner Stadium. "We thank Texan GMC Buick for their support. This is, what we believe, the first ever, anywhere, of a business sponsoring a high school entry naming," said Humble ISD Superintendent Dr. Guy Sconzo."And with the current fiscal situation in public education, this could not have happened at a more needy time."

The impressive facility, renovated with funds paid for with voter-approved bonds, will now hold more than 10,000 fans and can host the press, scouts, coaches, announcers and special guests in the press box in style, from large screen TVs to tabletop computer connections and much more. The stadium will also host the Amateur Athletic Union Junior Olympics Track and Field event in 2012, expected to draw 10,000 athletes.

The team at Texan GMC-Buick is excited about the events to come, as well as the start of the next football season.   "We strive to provide a family friendly environment and make the car buying experience fun," said Bert Brocker, "head coach" and operating manager at Texan. "Me and my team  look forward to greeting the fans at the Texan GMC-Buick entrance at the all-new Turner Stadium."
