Denver’s Pepsi Center will retain its name for at least another year, the result of a one-year naming-rights agreement extension.
A naming-rights agreement for Pepsi Center, home to the NBA’s Denver Nuggets and NHL’s Colorado Avalanche, expired this summer. It has been followed by a one-year extension between PepsiCo and arena owner and operator Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE), ensuring that the name will remain in tact through at least the 2019-20 seasons.
Financial terms have not been revealed. News of the extension was recently confirmed by an official from Pepsi. More from 9News.com:
