I thought it was funny that the funeral of Archbishop Hannan took second fiddle to the re-naming of the Superdome. New Orleans loves their Saints.

Somebody stole my emblem off my Mercedes. Now I know what happened to it.

Unser Haus
 

I watched the Rams-Pats Super Bowl in Germany and I can tell you there were a lot of Germans who saw it and were talking about it. Tom Nuetten (Rams) speaks German and they had interviews with him that people could understand. There are lots non-Americans who follow the NFL.

IMO we could do a lot worse than partnering with a company known for being a premium brand.

Here is how I feel about.

I used to be a big NASCAR guy until NASCAR killed NASCAR. Anyway, LOWES Home Improvement bought the naming rights to Charlotte Motor Speedway and renamed it to LOWES Speedway. Well, after a couple of years of fans and even announcers calling it Charlotte MS instead of LOWES MS.... even after LOWES wrote a memorandum to NASCAR telling them that NASCAR and it's T.V. commentators to stop using the name Charlotte and ONLY use the name LOWES.....it is now called Charlotte again.

I don't care what some company names the Dome. It will always be the Louisiana Super Dome. So who cares. If it helps the team in some way...do it.

Do we have the classiest Name for stadium or WHAT!? WHO DAT!!!!!


NFC East

Dallas Cowboys
(Dallas Cowboys New Stadium) - Ordinary
New York Giants
(Giants Stadium) - Bleh - Ordinary
Philadelphia Eagles
(Lincoln Financial Field) - Eh ok.
Washington Redskins
(FedExField) - an attempt to be out of the box.

NFC North

Chicago Bears
(Soldier Field II) - Always like that name but it's plain and dry.
Detroit Lions
(Ford Field) - LOL @ fords.
Green Bay Packers
(Lambeau Field) - It's decent if you live in Greenbay.
Minnesota Vikings
(Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome) - Horrible Naming.

NFC South

Atlanta Falcons
(Georgia Dome) - LMAO..
Carolina Panthers
(Bank of America Stadium) - This Bank SUCKS and their new fee's will suck more.
New Orleans Saints
(Mercedes-Benz Superdome) - Smooth & Classy.. (Althought they could have removed the Super off Dome).. We're going to always call it "Superdome" But for cosmetic purposes Mercedes-Benz Dome would suffice.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
(Raymond James Stadium) - Rolls off the tongue nicely, plus they are headquartered in St Pete.

NFC West

Arizona Cardinals
(University of Phoenix Stadium) - Makes sense.
San Francisco 49ers
(Candlestick Park) - I can't say much about it.. too historic.
Seattle Seahawks
(CenturyLink Field) - CenturyLink is headquarted in Monroe, La.. don't you think it would have been smart to fight over naming rights for the Superdome? (CenturyLink Dome sounds cool too)..
St Louis Rams
(Edward Jones Dome) - Lmao..

AFC East

Buffalo Bills
(Ralph Wilson Stadium) - Clever.
Miami Dolphins
(Dolphin Stadium) - Makes since.. But it's a shared stadium.
New England Patriots
(Gillette Stadium) - Actually pretty cool name.
New York Jets
(Giants Stadium) - Some team wanted to make sure they say "It's MINES!"

AFC North

Baltimore Ravens
(M&T Bank Stadium) - Not a good name at all
Cincinnati Bengals
(Paul Brown Stadium) - REALLY NOT A GOOD NAME
Cleveland Browns
(Cleveland Browns Stadium) - Name sucks.
Pittsburgh Steelers
(Heinz Field) - I think Ketchup.

AFC South

Houston Texans
(Reliant Stadium) - it's aiight..
Indianapolis Colts
(Lucas Oil Stadium) - This is a horrible name for a stadium.
Jacksonville Jaguars
(EverBank Field) - Jags are just glad to have someone sponsoring their stadium.
Tennessee Titans
(LP Field) - Decent.

AFC West

Denver Broncos
(Invesco Field) - Huh?
Kansas City Chiefs
(Arrowhead Stadium) - Cool if it was a college stadium.
Oakland Raiders
(Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum) - Highschool Football Stadium naming here.
San Diego Chargers
(Qualcomm Stadium) - actually not bad.

I am sure the late Dave Dixon would have had something to say about this deal, and probably nothing too kind at that.

The name is great with me.. i'll still call it Superdome, im glad they left "Superdome on it" for the Locals to say it.. But i don't see any problem with it at all.. especially since this is a VERY nice Premium car brand not to mention this German Car company has MOOONNNNNEYYY, Im thinking a lot of new fancy and futuristic upgrades are in the works and finally finishing the Dome roof which is still incomplete.

If the contract extends through the life of the Superdome which is 2015 or 2020, i don't think we'll have a problem getting a New stadium built in the city.

Does this make it official that the Saints are the "World's Team" now?

Well, it beats the Enzyte SuperDome or the Go-Daddy SuperDome or the Oprah Winfrey Channel Network SuperDome.

Good thing all that money goes to the Saints instead of our pisspoor state.
