Same Hill. New name.

CommunityAmerica Razorback Stadium.

Beginning in 2027, in partnership with CommunityAmerica Credit Union, Razorback Stadium enters a new era while continuing the traditions that make it one of college football's most iconic venues.

The University of Arkansas Department of Athletics has signed a long-term partnership with CommunityAmerica Credit Union, marking a significant step in the credit union’s growing commitment to Northwest Arkansas. Facilitated by Learfield and Razorback Sports Properties, Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium will become CommunityAmerica Razorback Stadium beginning with the 2027 football season.

Rooted in more than 85 years of helping individuals and families achieve financial peace of mind and building on a 65-year legacy of service in Arkansas, CommunityAmerica is excited to engage with Razorback fans and support the communities they call home.

“This is so much more than a name on a stadium. It’s about becoming part of the Razorback Nation experience and helping fans, students, student-athletes and the communities we and the university serve,” said Lisa Ginter, Chief Executive Officer of CommunityAmerica Credit Union. “Our members are at the heart of everything we do and when we evaluate partnerships like this, it starts with what matters most to them. The University of Arkansas is a powerful source of pride and connection for people across the state and in many of our markets. This partnership underscores our long-term commitment to Northwest Arkansas, where we look forward to growing our presence and helping more families achieve financial peace of mind. We’re already deepening our roots with plans for a campus location and several new branches throughout the region.”

The multi-phased partnership extends beyond naming rights and designates CommunityAmerica as the Official Credit Union of Arkansas Athletics. CommunityAmerica will also serve as an official sponsor of Arkansas Athletics, supporting student-athletes and fans alike. The comprehensive partnership will also include the rebranding of the SEC Club inside Razorback Stadium as the CommunityAmerica Club, where fans enjoy premium amenities on gameday. As part of the agreement, CommunityAmerica will engage directly with Razorback student-athletes providing Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) opportunities, valuable financial education and programs to help them succeed both on and off the field.

“We are thrilled to welcome CommunityAmerica Credit Union as the Official Credit Union of Arkansas Athletics as one piece of a partnership that will benefit our student-athletes, fans and the state of Arkansas for years to come,” said Hunter Yurachek, Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics at the University of Arkansas. “Our vision in the Department of Athletics is to be our best and CommunityAmerica’s commitment to excellence as a trusted, people-driven financial institution mirrors that same vision. This partnership is just getting started but its impact will help shape our future.”
Beginning with the 2027 football season, the partnership will expand into its second phase with the naming of CommunityAmerica Razorback Stadium and the launch of CommunityAmerica Razorback Checking, Debit and Credit Cards.

With a legacy of serving members across Arkansas and nationwide, CommunityAmerica is ranked among the most trusted and innovative credit unions in the country and among the largest in the Midwest. CommunityAmerica is excited to engage and serve Razorback fans and members more deeply with a variety of financial products and services that align to their passion for the University.

“Our members are proud of where they live and what they stand behind, and for so many in Arkansas and across our shared communities, that means being part of Razorback Nation,” Ginter said. “As we look ahead to launching Razorback-branded products in 2027, we’re excited to offer experiences that celebrate that pride, strengthen relationships and deliver meaningful value for the people and communities we serve.”

“This is a historic partnership featuring an innovative brand with a passion and proven track record of supporting their community, paired with one of the leading college athletics programs in the country,” said Allison Fillmore, Senior Vice President, Business Development at Learfield. “Learfield and Razorback Sports Properties are excited to collaborate with Arkansas Athletics, which will enhance fan and student-athlete experiences for years to come.”

Razorback Sports Properties is the locally based Learfield team that is the exclusive multimedia rights holder for Arkansas Athletics and oversees all sponsorship agreements on behalf of the Razorbacks.

So that's what a 100k donation and a $50 savings bond per player will get you these days?

Hunter fleeced by Learfield just like he was the bozo's running the NIL fund.

NWA is filled with Fortune 500 Companies, yet none of them want their name associated with our crap football program and AD. If it wasn't for John Henry Tyson rescuing the basketball hire and backing that play we'd be an absolute crap show at the moment.

FIRE HUNTER!!

Also, frick DVH for dropping the regional to Kansas, this is great trolling material for RockChalk on tRant. A Kansas based company would rather prop up a failing football program in Arkansas than in Lawrence.

The NIL situation will not improve until this happens. I've said it before and I'll say it again, anyone with an ounce of competence can immediately tell Yurachek is an empty suit. He does the complete opposite of inspiring confidence. He was a national laughing stock as the CFP chairman. Serious money will never back a department run by him.

The stadium naming was an opportunity to bring in a new money pocket who wouldn’t otherwise be giving to the University.

He had 4 years to achieve this.

It's isn't a competitive advantage to keep the amount paid for the right secret.

It it was a truly a huge sum he'd be bragging about it. If the carve out for NIL was program changing he would be shouting it from the roof top.

He isn't, it isn't, it may help to keep the program at a 5.7 3* level.

Gonna call bullshite on that. I'm pretty involved and no one I talked to has ever heard this name before

Eta I had to look it up, they bought out Unify. So their locations are in Harps grocery stores. Not exactly a financial powerhouse. And they think a football stadium will help them enter a wildly overbanked NWA market?

Official Banking partner of the Kansas City Chiefs

Community America Crown Club at the KC Royals Ballpark.

Thats powerhouse credentials.

If you’re wanting scale of assets.

First Security Bank 7.8 Bil
Community America 4.6 Bil

FirstBank who holds Vandys naming rights assets of 16 bil

Kroger has their name on UK’s Stadium

We got the small town bank that nobody uses name on our stadium.


Hunter said they tried the private route but nobody was interested. Its because you suck Hunter.

So many bad ADs in the sec now:

Cohen at Auburn, Stricklin at UF, but Yurachek might take the cake.

I fully expect UF to follow suit for BHG after we go $2 billion in debt to rebuild it.

The bad part for HY is he has sucked so bad on the money/fundraising/NIL side that nobody in the fanbase trusts him.

Even though he wants to keep the financial details private, he kind of has to release them because this deal looks so bad at face value, you have to prove yourself. Unless this deal is so bad you can't show it.

John Williams (connected enough to know) said they were looking for a 20 yr, 100 Mil commitment.

Hunter said they tried to do this privately, but had no success.

Everybody is selling the ohh but its a company looking to expand in Arkansas which is what we were most likely to get.

So instead of a much more profitable partner we pull the Save-A-Lot grocery store bank whose VP of Marketing is a first class douche whose fresh off his probation for forcing himself on a woman.

Some say this is more like a 10 yr, 50 mil commitment.

I suspect its way worse than that but we'll probably never know.
