Until 2005, it was known as P&C Stadium, which came from the regional brand of supermarkets run by Syracuse-based Penn Traffic Corporation . In September, 2004 Penn Traffic was released from their naming rights contract due to their bankruptcy. Alliance Bank is a regional bank headquartered in Syracuse.
