Berkeley, CA
Troutman Amin, LLP the official law firm of Cal Athletics welcomed the news today that data analytics and AI giant Databricks, Inc. had acquired naming rights to California Memorial Stadium.
"We view this as amazing news and an incredible step forward for the Cal Football and the entire Golden Bears athletic department." Said Troutman Amin, LLP partner Eric J. Troutman who graduated from the University of California Berkeley in 1999. "Databricks is a fantastic company and another outfit founded by Cal grads just like Troutman Amin, LLP was. Seeing these folks step up and support the school like this is just outstanding news. Really love to see it. Welcome to the family!"
Troutman Amin, LLP inked its own historic deal with Cal Athletics in late 2024, locking up the rights to have the firm's famous lion logo emblazon the field through the 2028 season and making it the first law firm in history to have its logo on a NCAA Division 1 football field.
"We were so honored to make history with our deal to have our wonderful lion logo on the hallowed ground of Cal Memorial Stadium and we are even more honored to now have our logo on the field bearing the name of an exceptional company like Databricks." Said firm founder Puja J. Amin. "These folks are top-of-market and top-of-mind in their realm just as Troutman Amin, LLP is recognized as the best TCPA and CIPA defense and counseling firm in the nation."
Troutman was particularly pleased to see Databricks stepping up to support the team given that all of Databricks' founders were all former graduates and staff of the University of California at Berkeley.
"It is critical for the massive and powerful Cal alumni network to pull together to support the school and its athletics program." Troutman said. "When we signed our deal back in 2024 it made no real business sense- we spent over 10% of our revenue to advertise in a market where we don't even had an office. But we wanted to show the world the power of the GREATEST University on Earth and we knew with a little help from the Troutman Amin, LLP Lion the Golden Bears could really ROAR. The team has been on the upswing ever since."
The Databricks naming rights deal was made possible through Troutman Amin, LLP waiving its right-of-first refusal and allowing Cal Athletic to proceed with the new sponsor a move Troutman says he welcomed with open arms.
"We are ecstatic that Databricks has chosen to support the school in this way and we supported the deal fully from the start." Troutman says. "Just sit back and marvel at it. General Manager Ron Rivera, Coach Tosh Lupoi, the Databricks' founders, Dialpad's founder Craig Walker and myself are all Cal grads looking to make a positive impact on the school and community that gave us so much in life. That's just a beautiful thing. No wonder things are going so well."
The Troutman Amin, LLP lion logo will appear at the 25 yard lines while the Databricks logo will appear at midfield through at least the conclusion of the 2028 season.
"DataBricks, Dialpad and Troutman Amin, LLP have all signed multi-year commitments with Cal Athletics and you can bet we will be looking to be friends through 2028 and beyond." Amin says. "Being a part of this journey has truly been one of the highlights of my professional career and we look forward to rooting the powerful Golden Bears on every game this season. Go Bears!"
