BB&T, Florida Panthers extend arena deal

The initial term with Winston-Salem, N.C.-based BB&T runs 10 years, said Michael Yormark, president of Sunrise Sports & Entertainment, the parent company of the team and the arena, whose name officially switches from BankAtlantic Center to BB&T Center today. The agreement also includes two five-year options.

Sunrise Sports and BB&T officials refused to disclose the value of the deal, but industry sources valued the agreement at $3.7 million a year. That would be the most lucrative naming-rights deal for a major league arena in Florida
