The state’s largest lender has extended its sponsorship agreement with the Northwest Arkansas Naturals baseball team.

Fayetteville-chartered Arvest Bank announced Monday that its title sponsorship for Arvest Ballpark in Springdale has been extended through 2027.

Financial terms of the extension were not disclosed.

Arvest was awarded naming rights for the $33 million home of the Naturals — the Double-A minor league affiliate of the American League champion Kansas City Royals — in 2007. The original agreement was for 10 years, to run concurrent with the team’s lease with Springdale.

The Naturals began play April 10, 2008, at the 7,000-seat ballpark, just west of Interstate 49.
