Thrillbillies' Manager Ralph Santana looks over the newly renamed Mtn Dew Park.

There’s a new name for The Ballpark that The THRILLBILLIES call home.

The Black Diamond Family of Businesses have announced that they reached a new naming-rights agreement with Pepsi MidAmerica to rebrand Rent One Park as “Mtn Dew Park.” In a press release, Herby Voss, Marketing Specialist for the Black Diamond Family of Businesses states that “You’d be hard-pressed to find a soda more thrilling than Mtn Dew.” In addition to the announcement about the new naming-rights agreement, leaders with the Black Diamond Family of Businesses discussed plans for Thrillville which includes transforming the park itself into the “Capital of Thrillville.”

Future plans for Thrillville include the major addition of Oasis Golf, a premier, golf themed entertainment venue with games for all skill levels, a full-service bar and restaurant, pickle ball, a mini golf course and hotel. Thrillville will also be home to the Oasis Sports Complex, a national sports tourism destination. Planning is underway for a new shopping destination in Thrillville, Oasis South Shopping Center.

The Thrillville Thrillbillies open the season against the Jackson Rockabillys on May 31.
