The Philadelphia Union's home has a new name.


The Union announced on Tuesday that independent power producer Talen Energy (formerly PPL EnergyPlus) has assumed the naming rights to the club’s soccer-specific stadium in Chester, Pennsylvania. As such, PPL Park is now Talen Energy Stadium.



“We look forward to continuing a strategic and great partnership with Talen Energy and are truly excited for the stadium to have a new look come 2016,” Union Chief Revenue Officer and Executive Vice President Dave Rowan said in a statement. “While the name will be changing, we remain solely devoted to bringing our loyal fans the best possible game-day experience and we welcome this change as a recommitment to our values.”


The Union will debut the new moniker at the start of their seventh season in MLS in 2016.
