Security Bank Ballpark is now Momentum Bank Ballpark
Name change comes as Security Bank merges with American Momentum Bank
Security Bank Ballpark, home to the RockHounds – the Double-A affiliate of the Oakland Athletics – is now Momentum Bank Ballpark. The name change comes after College Station-based American Momentum Bank acquired Security Star Bancshares, Inc. (SSBI), the parent company of Security Bank, in February.
Security Bank assumed the naming rights to the minor league baseball stadium in August 2013 under a 25-year sponsorship agreement. As part of the merger, American Momentum Bank has assumed the rights to this sponsorship and continue the relationship with the team.
“We are excited about the new name of the ballpark, and even more excited to be working with the same team of bankers we have grown to love over the years,” said Monty Hoppel, General Manager for the RockHounds. “The team has a great relationship with the bank, and we are looking forward to continuing that and welcoming our fans back to the stadium for the 2021 minor league baseball season.”

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 minor league baseball season was canceled. The RockHounds will resume their regular season schedule in 2021.
