The name of Regina's Brandt Centre will stay the same at least for another decade.

On Thursday, Evraz Place issued a news release announcinga new, 10-year sponsorship deal has been reached with the Brandt Group of Companies that will see the sports and entertainment facility keep the name.

The facility is home to the Regina Pats andhosts numerous concerts and events throughout the year.

Evraz Place said the sponsorship deal with Brandt could be supplemented by a new funding arrangement being discussed by Regina city council.

Evraz Place said that a service agreement between REAL, Brandt and the Patsis also being renegotiated in order for "updatedservice standards to enhance the fan experience."
