Diego, CA – April 2015 / Newsmaker Alert / Valley
View Casino & Hotel and AEG
announce a multi-year extension of the naming rights agreement for Valley
View Casino Center, San Diego’s premier venue for live concerts, family
entertainment, and sporting events. The deal, first brokered by AEG Global
Partnerships in 2010 with the region’s preeminent gaming and entertainment
destination, extends the successful partnership with the venue recently
ranked the #5 facility in the world for venues with 10,001 to 15,000 seats.

Earlier
this year it was announced that professional hockey will return this fall
to San Diego and the historic Valley View Casino Center after nearly a
decade absence when the San Diego Sea Gulls begin play as the Anaheim Ducks
top affiliate in the American Hockey League.
“We
have built a great relationship with the City of San Diego and the community
at-large through this venture with AEG. With professional hockey returning
to Valley View Casino Center, we’re excited to play a part in bringing
another exceptional sporting experience to San Diegans,” said Joe Navarro,
