The request still has to be approved by the City Council.

The proposal is for one sign to be on the exterior of the building facing New Design Road and one to be on the interior, facing the field.
The signs are both about 14 feet long and 9 feet tall.
The city receives a proportionate share of “naming rights” fees paid to Attain Sports, according to city documents. The amount wasn’t indicated.
Local 24’s jurisdiction includes large parts of Maryland, stretching from Frederick County to the Delmarva peninsula.
The Keys will play in the South Atlantic League beginning in 2026 after calling the Carolina League home for their previous existence as an Orioles affiliate.
Their first home game is set for April 14 against the Hudson Valley Renegades.
