AKRS Announces Partnership with Alumni Association for Naming of Champions Club
On April 29, AKRS Equipment (www.akrs.com) announced a partnership with the Nebraska Alumni Association for exclusive naming rights for the Nebraska Champions Club, the premier Nebraska football tailgating and private-event space across the street from Memorial Stadium. The agreement, which runs through the 2026 football season, created the AKRS Champions Club just in time for the May 1 Husker Red-White Spring Game.
In addition to the naming rights partnership, AKRS President Kevin Clark, a 1993 Nebraska graduate and former student-athlete on the Husker cross-country and track-and-field teams, indicated AKRS would make a commitment toward creating new opportunities for agriculture education by supporting scholarships for students across the University of Nebraska system.
“The partnership with the Nebraska Alumni Association to create the AKRS Champions Club aligns us with an institution with a shared commitment to success and excellence,” Clark said. “In addition, our scholarship program will deepen our relationships with the communities we serve and the University of Nebraska.”
