San Jose Earthquakes have announced a stadium founding partnership with The Bay Area BMW Centres, reports, www.sportspromedia.com/. The deal is thought to be worth around US$2m over five years and will see the field club section at the Earthquakes' new Avaya Stadium - still under construction - branded as the 'BMW Club'.

Additionally, vehicles from The Bay Area BMW Centres will be on site at each MLS game hosted by the Earthquakes.

The agreement also includes a presenting sponsorship of test drive events that will feature Earthquakes players for meet and greets at dealerships around the Bay Area and a game presenting sponsorship for the club's match at Levi's Stadium against Orlando City SC on 24th May.

"We're very excited to bring The Bay Area BMW Centres back for the 2015 season and beyond," said Earthquakes president Dave Kaval.

"As a community-based organisation, we're thrilled to add a local partner with a world class reputation to our family."

Construction on the Avaya Stadium is set to be completed in March 2015.
