Mississippi State Expands Partnership with BankFirst to Feature On-Field Logo at Dudy Noble Field

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State Athletics and BankFirst have announced an expanded, multi-year sponsorship agreement, which includes the placement of the BankFirst logo on the first and third baselines at Dudy Noble Field. The logo will be unveiled Saturday during Fan Day, presented by Coca-Cola.

Moak Griffin, chief executive officer of BankFirst, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership. “There’s nothing quite like a day at Dudy Noble,” he said. “It’s where generations of families gather, where memories are made, and where Mississippi State baseball brings people together. We’re proud to be a part of that experience and to support a program that means so much to communities across Mississippi.”

The partnership positions BankFirst prominently at a venue that regularly leads college baseball in attendance and national visibility. Mississippi State athletic director Zac Selmon highlighted the significance of the partnership. “Dudy Noble Field is one of the most recognizable and celebrated venues in all of college athletics, and partnerships like this help us continue building momentum and investing in the future of Mississippi State Athletics,” he said. “BankFirst has been a trusted partner, and we are grateful for their continued commitment to enhancing an experience that brings our fans, alumni, and communities together.”

As part of the agreement, BankFirst will receive prominent exposure during all Mississippi State baseball home games through on-field signage, television broadcasts, and digital platforms. The bank will also maintain a presence across other sports, including soccer and basketball, as well as on the Bulldog Sports Network.

Ann Brett Gillespie Strickland, general manager of Bulldog Sports Properties, noted the benefits of the expanded partnership. “As Mississippi State baseball continues to be at the pinnacle of the sport and lead the nation in visibility and impact, we’re excited to work closely with Mississippi State Athletics to identify emerging sponsorship opportunities that drive incremental revenue for MSU Athletics and increase brand visibility for our partners,” she said. Bulldog Sports Properties manages all sponsorships, in-venue signage, and advertising for the university’s athletic programs and is a division of Learfield.
