The Benzo Dome, not too bad!

Cruize · 10-04-2011, 07:11 AM

I have and always will refer to it as "The Dome."

Take the German euros and run with it! Maybe they will name a car after Drew next. The Brees Class Mercedes Benz! A top performance car!

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.

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.

SapperSaint · 10-04-2011, 08:31 AM

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.

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