After a year with no naming-rights sponsor for its minor league baseball stadium, Suffolk County has agreed to a deal with Bethpage Federal Credit Union to pay $2.1 million to dub the Long Island Ducks' home field Bethpage Ballpark until 2020.
The contract would be the third name since the 10-year-old, 6,000-seat facility opened. It was called Citibank Park at its inception and Suffolk County Sports Park during the 2010 Ducks season when the county failed to sell the naming rights.
