Fort Wayne, IN (April 2, 2026) – Residential mortgage lender Ruoff Mortgage announces naming rights partnership for new stadium venue coming to I69 and Bass Road in Fort Wayne, IN. This announcement comes in tandem with the continuation of the company's partnership with Fort Wayne Football Club.

The new 9,200-seat capacity venue will now be known as Ruoff Mortgage Stadium, with the company continuing their support of Fort Wayne Football Club as an Official Partner with exclusivity in the mortgage category. The stadium is set to open for the club’s first home match on May 2^nd of this year.

"Taking on the naming rights for what will now be Ruoff Mortgage Stadium is a natural and exciting evolution of our partnership with Fort Wayne Football Club," noted President Blake Music. “We are thrilled to help lay the foundation for a premier entertainment destination in Northeast Indiana while continuing to support the club’s mission to make the game of soccer more accessible, for old and new fans alike. This venue represents our commitment to providing an elevated, world-class experience for the communities we serve and the region at large."

The stadium, which is located on the west side of I69 at Bass Road, will be the largest outdoor stadium in Northeast Indiana and will feature the second widest videoboard in the state. This development comes at a pivotal time in Fort Wayne Football Club’s history as the team continues their first season as a professional team competing in USL League One, a promotion from USL League Two in which the team had competed in since their founding in 2019. Ruoff Mortgage has been a proud partner since the club’s conception.

"We’re pleased to be partnering with Ruoff Mortgage, an organization with a rich history of involvement in sports and entertainment throughout the country,” said Scott Sproat, Chief Operating Officer of Fort Wayne Football Club. “Ruoff Mortgage places tremendous value on partnerships with sports organizations – such as the NFL, NBA, IndyCar and NASCAR – and entertainment venues like the beloved Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville. Ruoff Mortgage is dedicated to strengthening the fabric of our communities by pairing expert home financing with deep-rooted local support. This makes Ruoff Mortgage the ideal partner to pair the objectives of our club with the extended benefits that will be brought to our community by Ruoff Mortgage Stadium.”
