The Grove family also donated $250,000 to the city to help build the park and were thus honored in the naming of it. Another $1 million was provided by the city of Frederick along with $1.5 million provided by the state of Maryland and $250,000 from Frederick County. [8]
The 2005 Class A all-star game, pitting the Carolina League against the California League, was played in Harry Grove Stadium. [9]

[16] [17] Mayor Randy McClement said, "The stadium is always going to be Harry Grove Stadium. But the idea behind naming rights is to look at portions of the stadium that could used for naming rights." [18] The city will get 35% of the net profit from the naming fees with the remainder going to the team. [16] [17] [18] On February 5, 2015, the Frederick Keys announced a deal had been reached with Nymeo Federal Credit Union to use the name "Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium." [19]
