The Morongo Casino Resort Spa, the Ontario Tower Buzzers and the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes this week announced a new partnership. Morongo is the presenting sponsor of the Tower Buzzers and the official field naming sponsor at the Quakes’ Epicenter Stadium.
The Ontario Tower Buzzers is the new minor league affiliate of 2025 World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers. The home of the Quakes, the Los Angeles Angels minor league affiliate, has been renamed Morongo Field at the Epicenter.
The collaboration marks an advancement in Morongo Casino’s ongoing investment in entertainment and recreation in the Inland Empire.
“Baseball is America’s pastime because of its power to bring people together,” Morongo Tribal Chairman Charles Martin said in a statement. “We are thrilled to join with the Ontario Tower Buzzers and the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes to celebrate this tradition while creating new opportunities for families across the Inland Empire to enjoy the excitement of the game.”
The partnership debuted during two events celebrating the start of the 2026 season.
- April 2, Morongo joined the Ontario Tower Buzzers for the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new ONT Field, followed by the ball club’s first season opener before a sold-out crowd.
- April 3, fans enjoyed Morongo Diamond Nights, where the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes unveiled Morongo Field at the Epicenter during a one game-day celebration.
“At Morongo Casino Resort Spa, our brand is built on delivering exceptional guest experiences centered on entertainment, excitement, and memorable moments,” said Morongo Casino Resort & Spa CEO Mike Bean. “Partnering with the Ontario Tower Buzzers and the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes reflects that same commitment as our three organizations work to create energy, community pride, and unforgettable experiences for fans.”
The Ontario Tower Buzzers name reflects the city’s aviation heritage and its connection to Ontario International Airport. The team’s name and their mascot, Maverick, evoke aviation’s flybys while celebrating the airport control tower that has guided thousands of flights into Ontario.
“This partnership is a great example of what makes Minor League Baseball so special — bringing together strong community partners, great organizations, and unforgettable fan experiences,” said Diamond Baseball Holdings West Region Vice President Ben Taylor. “Morongo’s commitment to entertainment and community aligns perfectly with our vision for both the Ontario Tower Buzzers and the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes. We’re excited to see this collaboration elevate the experience for fans across the Inland Empire.”
Launched in 1993, the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes have been one of Minor League Baseball’s beloved franchises, building a loyal fan base and a reputation for family-friendly entertainment at the Epicenter. As the Minor League affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels, the club has earned three California League championships (1994, 2015 and 2018).
