MLS hopefuls Philadelphia name Panasonic as major sponsor

With the global economic downturn set to have consequences for soccer clubs worldwide, a new team that has not kicked a ball yet has secured a major blue chip sponsor to help with the construction of it’s new stadium.

Keystone Sports and Entertainment, LLC, the MLS Philadelphia 2010 ownership group, named Panasonic as the "Official Technology Partner" of its new stadium and waterfront complex.

"Panasonic is a name respected around the globe, recognized for their innovation in consumer electronics and business technology products," said Nick Sakiewicz, CEO and operating partner of Keystone Sports and Entertainment. "Our fans will be treated to a unique in-stadium experience, 'Powered by Panasonic.'

"But more than that, this partnership also will extend throughout the entire waterfront redevelopment project."
