Sell the naming rights to the dome

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I'm really surprised by the turnout on this. When I have read comments on letting players go, or signing at league minimums, or releasing players to make room under the cap, depending on which player it is, alot of you ...

Re: Sell the naming rights to the dome

I'm really surprised by the turnout on this. When I have read comments on letting players go, or signing at league minimums, or releasing players to make room under the cap, depending on which player it is, alot of you guys have been outspoken on "it's a business", and "that's how business works." But the mere mention of selling "a name", that wouldn't effect anything, but what it is called, and maybe put some much needed money into the state, and it's "oh heck no!" I'm just saying.... It's amazing how much people care about an issue that effects them directly, and make it known, but an issue that effects someone else, brings a different attitude entirely. Not trying to start anything here, just an observation.

What's popular is not always right, and what's right is not always popular.....

I say sell the name, make some cash and upgrade or build a new stadium.
It is a business and all it is, is a name.

Re: Sell the naming rights to the dome

All Stadiums should be named for Veterans or dead people, or for some weird topographical feature. (like 3 rivers)

Nothing sounds less compelling than a stupid corporate name on something that should be sacrosanct.

I agree...

But if you got to, keep it local...

The Abita Beer Dome

If you name it, they will come.......

or the Acadian Ambulance Dome

though I don't like Acadian Ambulance as a company, but

...can you imagine parking like eight of those outside the opponents locker, being all hospitable with lines like "don't worry fellows, you're our guests and we're gonna take good care of you"...

of course, should the Saints revert back to the old ways...

...we can name the dome the State Farm Dome with the slogan, when disaster strikes, State Farm was there when it happened...

...and asked for a rate increase...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
