The City of Lethbridge renamed the stadium from Henderson Stadium in 2008, after it signed a 15-year agreement with Spitz, wherein Spitz received naming rights for that period and would provide $500,000 for renovation or upgrades until 2013.{{cite news | last = Mabell | first = Dave | title = Spitz proposes stadium name change | publisher = Lethbridge Herald | date = 2008-06-09 | url = http://www.lethbridgeherald.com/article_11028.php | accessdate = 2008-06-22 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20080610195802/http://www.lethbridgeherald.com/article_11028.php |archivedate = 2008-06-10}} The sponsorship was later extended to the 2029 season.https://www.lethbridge.ca/news/posts/spitz-stadium-retains-its-name-with-new-sponsorship-deal/
