Sell the naming rights to the dome

Rugby Saint II · 03-31-2010, 02:34 PM

I'll try to say this politely......Not only NO but HELL NO!!! It has always been the Louisiana Super Dome and always will be to me. I could learn to like the Gulf Coast New Orleans Saints if that came to pass.

But with my luck Tampax, Massengill or Midol would win the bid that would change the charisma.

I can hear it now "Welcome to tonight's game with The Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints hosting the Cleveland Browns in the recently
renovated Preparation H Super Dome."

.............

.................

If all else fails keep drinking heavily.

I don't think they can sell it because it has been known as "Superdome" forever and it's a brand name larger than products attached to it. Microsoft considered naming rights before Katrina. Superdome brand is too well known and people would still call it "The Superdome" before "Microsoft Superdome" or "Tabasco Field" etc.

How about "The Hairclub for Men Chrome Dome?"

At least it isn't Kohler.

They'd call it the toilet bowl... or the Bidet Bowl.

It's bad enough that sponsors are slapping their names on all of the college bowl games (some of them literally taking over the bowls, name wise). The Rams dome was named three times. The Dolphins stadium was named four, five times. This is more about money. (Picture this: "Al Copeland Memorial Superdome"/"Al Scramuzza Superdome"/"Schwegmann Dome"/"Popeye's Superdome"/"Royal Sonesta Dome"..... God forbid if it's named the "Katrina Dome", the city would be up in arms carrying AKs and Berettas and flamethrowers.) I hope Mr. Benson takes the Mike Singletary approach: "Can't Do It!"

How about the Lucky Dog Dome... That's what Minnesota calls it anyway.
