Planet Ford in Spring is excited to share this wonderful community news. Spring Independent School District and Randall Reed’s Planet Ford are pleased to announce an agreement naming the district’s new stadium Planet Ford Stadium, and the community center will be named Randall Reed Center.
Shawn Burns, Planet Ford general manager and partner, said, “The children are our future. Nothing is going to happen if there isn’t the young men and women who are going to come and fill the shoes of meetings like this or employees at Planet Ford.”
The stadium and community center is being built on a 117-acre parcel of land at 23802 Cypresswood Drive, only six miles away from the Planet Ford dealership. The stadium will feature a low-glare turf field, seating for 8,000 fans with great views from every seat, a state-of-the-art video scoreboard system, family-friendly concessions and modern press box amenities.
The Randall Reed Center, named after the owner of Planet Ford and World Class Automotive, will be a community room for up to 300 guests with options for catered meetings and events. The center will also serve as a memorial to honor the sacrifice of area service members.
Mr. Reed stated the decision to partner with Spring ISD on the new stadium and community center made sense, especially considering the organization’s long history in the Spring area. “Giving back to the community is a large part of what Reed Family Enterprises is all about. We are pleased to actively support a wide variety of local charities, and we’re definitely proud to support Spring Independent School District,” said Mr. Reed. “Since 1996, the Reed family has been privileged to support various school booster clubs and district events. We have also leveraged Spring ISD’s athletic digital signage to market Planet Ford in the past. As such, we are now honored and excited to expand our support of the district through this naming rights agreement.”
Mr. Reed said the naming rights arrangement will be a way to promote Planet Ford while continuing to support Spring ISD. The automotive dealership is already a big fan of the district’s teachers, donating a new vehicle and an all-expenses-paid cruise to educators at the annual Spring ISD Employee Recognition Banquet.
“We are excited and look forward to continuing our involvement for many years to come,” Mr. Reed said. Construction is expected to be completed in the fall.
