Naming Rights
Consol Energy has put its name to two sports facilities in its Pittsburgh-area. In 2007, Consol energy purchased the naming rights to Washington, Pennsylvania’s minor league baseball team the Washington Wild Things’ field, Consol Energy Park. Consol later purchased the naming rights to the Consol Energy Center in 2008; the arena that hosts the Pittsburgh Penguins national hockey team. It is estimated that Consol Energy won the bid for naming rights at a cost between $2.0 - $4.0 million per year, for 21 years.
