Virginia Haulers Announce The Basement as First Official Community Partner

WYTHEVILLE, Va. — The Virginia Haulers have announced The Basement as the organization’s first official community partner, marking an important step in building community support ahead of the team’s inaugural 2027 arena football season.

The Basement has already played a significant role in helping spread the word about the Haulers, introducing the team to new audiences and generating excitement as the organization prepares to take the field at Hitachi Energy Arena.

Community partnerships are essential to the success of minor league sports. For a new franchise, those relationships help establish trust, connect with local families, and build the support needed to grow beyond an inaugural season. Partners who share the team’s story and encourage others to get involved help lay the foundation for a lasting hometown presence.

The partnership with The Basement reflects the Haulers’ commitment to building those connections early. Its support has helped the organization gain visibility during a critical stage of development, and the Haulers look forward to returning that support as both brands grow.

That commitment extends to the people behind The Basement and their families. The Haulers envision a lasting relationship that gives them a meaningful place in the team’s journey, from its earliest announcements to the excitement of game day and the seasons ahead.

As the organization’s first official community partner, The Basement represents an important part of the Haulers’ beginnings—and the community involvement the team hopes to continue building throughout the region.

Fans are encouraged to follow The Basement on social media, explore its content, and join the Virginia Haulers in welcoming the brand and its families to the Haulers community.
