STARKVILLE — Mississippi State Athletics and BankFirst, in partnership with Learfield's Bulldog Sports Properties, announced an expanded, multi-year sponsorship that will place the BankFirst logo on the first and third baselines at Dudy Noble Field.Â
The BankFirst logo will debut Saturday during Fan Day, presented by Coca-Cola.
"There's nothing quite like a day at Dudy Noble," said Moak Griffin, Chief Executive Officer of BankFirst. "It's where generations of families gather, where memories are made, and where Mississippi State baseball brings people together. We're proud to be a part of that experience and to support a program that means so much to communities across Mississippi."
The expanded partnership positions the BankFirst brand at the heart of a venue that consistently leads college baseball in attendance and national visibility.
"Dudy Noble Field is one of the most recognizable and celebrated venues in all of college athletics, and partnerships like this help us continue building momentum and investing in the future of Mississippi State Athletics," MSU Director of Athletics Zac Selmon said. "BankFirst has been a trusted partner, and we are grateful for their continued commitment to enhancing an experience that brings our fans, alumni, and communities together. This expanded partnership creates meaningful visibility for BankFirst while supporting the long-term growth and success of our baseball program and our department as a whole."

BankFirst will also maintain a presence across additional sports, including soccer and men's and women's basketball, as well as the Bulldog Sports Network.
"As Mississippi State baseball continues to be at the pinnacle of the sport and lead the nation in visibility and impact, we're excited to work closely with Mississippi State Athletics to identify emerging sponsorship opportunities that drive incremental revenue for MSU Athletics and increase brand visibility for our partners," added Bulldog Sports Properties General Manager Ann Brett Gillespie Strickland.
