The Baltimore-based bank traces its roots to La Corona Building and Loan Association, founded in Highlandtown in 1927. “The CFG Bank Arena reinforces our commitment to Baltimore and our leadership position not only in the banking industry, but in the Baltimore business community,” Wiedel said. This isn’t a ‘I think it could work.’ This is gonna work.” “God Bless Bruce Springsteen for adding this date as a favor because he believes in this building and he believes in this city,” said Tim Leiweke, CEO of Oak View Group, the California investment firm overseeing the renovation after winning a bid from the city last year. The newly christened CFG Bank Arena will host the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s basketball tournaments in February and recently announced upcoming performances by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and blink-182, whose original lineup reunited this year. The aging facility, originally called the Civic Center, closed earlier this year for $200 million of renovations and is expected to reopen early next year. The price of the naming rights was not disclosed at Monday’s unveiling. The downtown arena has undergone multiple name changes in its 60-year history and was known recently as Royal Farms Arena and Baltimore Arena. The city-owned facility held an unveiling ceremony Monday afternoon attended by city officials and a few celebrities. The downtown Baltimore arena has a new name: CFG Bank Arena.
