New Name for BettPlex

WVIK, Quad Cities NPR | By Herb Trix

Published December 15, 2017 at 10:53 AM CST

The new sports complex under construction in Bettendorf has a new name. Thursday BettPlex and TBK Bank announced a "naming rights partnership."

So the 76 acre compex at the corner of Middle Road and Forest Grove Road, just south of I-80, will be known as the "TBK Bank Sports Complex."

TBK Bank has ten branches in the Quad Cities, as Triumph Community Bank.

When it opens next spring, the TBK Bank Sports Complex will include an indoor facility, family entertainment center, and outdoor sports fields and diamonds.
