COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC President Nick Ragain expressed his happiness on Tuesday at the addition of the club’s new naming rights partnership with Weidner Apartment Homes, which will see the club’s home venue become Weidner Field for the upcoming USL season.

Welcoming aboard one of Colorado Springs’ largest businesses, which has a national presence in both the United States and Canada, Ragain added he hoped the partnership would bring wider attention to the accomplishments of company founder Dean Weidner, a longtime presence in Colorado Springs itself.

“Dean Weidner is probably the most financially successful individual that Colorado Springs has ever produced,” said Ragain at the press conference announcing the partnership. “I don’t know that story is out there, or that people in Colorado Springs are even aware of what Dean Weidner has done and who he is. We are very pleased and honored that both Dean and Greg and the whole team have chosen the Colorado Springs Switchbacks to help to tell the story of Weidner Apartment Homes and the value of Colorado Springs and this community.”
