Virginia to Debut On-Field Sponsor Logo with UPSTACK

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia Athletics announced today (Nov. 19) a new partnership with UPSTACK, a leading digital infrastructure platform, aimed at enhancing visibility and bolstering resources around the Cavalier football program. The partnership, brokered by Playfly Sports, the sports industry’s leading revenue maximization company, is highlighted by the first-ever corporate sponsor logo to appear on David A. Harrison III Field at Scott Stadium.

“On behalf of Virginia Athletics, we are thrilled to launch this first-of-its-kind partnership at UVA with UPSTACK,” said UVA Deputy Athletics Director, Chief Strategy Officer and General Manager Tyler Jones. “With the support of Playfly Sports, UVA continues to identify innovative opportunities to strengthen not only our brand, but also our football program. This partnership represents another meaningful step in advancing Dr. [Carla] Williams and Coach [Tony] Elliott’s vision to build college football’s model program.”

UPSTACK’s logo will appear in between the 20- and 30-yard lines at each end of the field as part of a one-time placement debuting during the Cavaliers’ regular-season finale, a Commonwealth Clash against Virginia Tech on Nov. 29.

UPSTACK Founder & CEO Chris Trapp, who also played linebacker at the University from 2001-03, expressed his enthusiasm for this uniquely positioned collaboration at UVA.

“UPSTACK could not be more thrilled to partner with UVA Athletics, and specifically the football program,” Trapp said. “What Coach Elliott and his staff have accomplished is inspiring. We are excited to support the program in a way that ensures it has the resources to attract and retain top student-athletes. That investment shows just how much belief there is, from alumni and fans alike, in what this team is building.”
