VEGAS (July 24, 2017) - Vegas Golden Knights Chairman and CEO Bill Foleyannounced today, July 24, that the team has signed a multi-year partnership with City National Bank. Under this agreement, the Golden Knights practice facility, which is scheduled to officially open later this summer, will be named City National Arena.
"Our practice facility was designed to be the official home of the Vegas Golden Knights but also a state-of-the-art community ice center for all Las Vegans to enjoy," said Vegas Golden Knights Chairman and CEO Bill Foley. "We are thrilled to partner with City National Bank on this endeavor, as City National shares in our vision of growing the sport of hockey in Southern Nevada and has a strong commitment to the community. City National Arena will provide best-in-class amenities and programs for all skill levels and experience, regardless of age or gender. We look forward to officially opening our doors later this summer."

"City National is proud to become the official bank of the Vegas Golden Knights and to put our name on the team's outstanding new City National Arena across the street from our Nevada banking headquarters," saidRussell Goldsmith, the bank's chairman and CEO. "Since City National has been providing outstanding business and private banking and investment management here in Las Vegas for over a decade, we are very enthusiastic about Bill Foley and the Golden Knights ushering in a new era of major league sports for Nevada. The Knights will add to the attraction of Las Vegas as a world class tourist destination, create many jobs and help grow the economy of Southern Nevada in many ways. We are also very pleased that the beautiful new City National Arena will be a great resource for the whole community to enjoy."
The team will hold a formal grand opening of City National Arena, with details of the event to be determined at a later date.
The multi-year partnership provides City National Bank with in-arena branding at the practice facility, which is located approximately 15 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip, including center ice logos on both NHL-sized ice sheets, a patch on the Golden Knights practice jerseys and additional signage at the facility. City National Bank will also receive exposure and branding in T-Mobile Arena.
In addition, City National Bank will have one title game each season. During the game, City National Bank will provide fans in attendance at T-Mobile Arena a special giveaway item.
