Naming rights
[edit]In 2004, Clipper Magazine purchased the naming rights of Clipper Magazine Stadium, home of the Lancaster Barnstormers of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, for $2.5 million over ten years. The baseball park is located at 650 North Prince Street in the Northwest Corridor neighborhood of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.[3] This agreement was extended in 2013 through the 2019 season.[4][5]
In November 2015, Clipper Magazine was purchased for an undisclosed amount by Valassis Communications, a Michigan-based direct-mail company. Valassis acquired Clipper Magazine in an effort to accelerate its expansion into local business markets.[6] [7]
In April 2022, Clipper Magazine was acquired by AmatoMartin, a privately held investment company focused on investing in exceptional teams operating in the media, marketing services & digital transformation sectors.
