MASHANTUCKET, Conn. — Foxwoods Resort Casino says its chief marketing officer who negotiated sponsorships with Madison Square Garden, professional sports teams and a Broadway theater, has resigned.

The Day of New London, which first reported Robert Victoria's Monday resignation, said he cited personal

reasons he did not detail. The Connecticut casino confirmed his departure Wednesday but gave no details.

During Victoria's tenure, Foxwoods reached an agreement with entertainment company Live Nation to rename the Hilton Theatre on 42nd Street in New York's Times Square the Foxwoods Theatre. It is home to "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," the troubled and frequently delayed production.

Foxwoods and Madison Square Garden also expanded a marketing partnership giving the casino the right to advertise in the final five minutes of pro hockey and basketball games.
