How bout we sell our name every year and become the *insert sponsors name here* Saints... or a goal could be called a big mac and a point could be a cheese burger....

So a Big Mac could be kicked after a McNuggets, right on the Quarter pounder time siren.GrumpyOne wrote:Holding the Ball could be called the McNuggets Decision.markp wrote:Where does it farken end though?plugger66 wrote:I'd rather they didnt have sponsers names and screw the clubs that use it even more.

They called it telstra dome out of desperation because they wanted to call the Homebush stadium telstra stadium, and couldn't come up with anything better.... to keep the dome part would be like keeping half the previous sponsors name.Moorabbin Saints wrote:They could have at least called it 'Etihad Dome'. People usually just call it the Dome anyway. I reckon they changed to Stadium to get people saying 'Etihad'.
So why do clubs seemingly get a better deal from the MCG and also there is no naming rights sponsor there?plugger66 wrote:I'd rather they didnt have sponsers names and screw the clubs that use it even more.
There is a limit.
Look at the US. Candlestick Park in San Francisco. Iconic. Was known as 3com Park and now is known as Monster Park. Herman Munster is number one patron.
I'm enjoying your sarcasm, but money cannot be the only reason for this sort of stuff happening.
MCG doesn't need to sell out. Why does Ian Collins?
Edit:
Other stadiums that don't need to sell out.
1. SCG
2. Gabba
3. WACA
4. Subiaco (toyed with it though)
Glad we don't play AFL at any of those. Football Park & Docklands, hang your heads in shame.

Poster formerly known as SENsaintsational. More wisdom. More knowledge. Less name.
