What has Mercedes ever done for New Orleans?

Ruined my day - hell ruined my season.

They planted 130 Tree's in City Park and Benson sold enough of their car's to buy the Saints team we love today?

Pretty cool. If it had to be named something, I'm glad it's being named for a great car company. Plus, might be some cool Mercedes fan promotions like they do here in Dallas with the American Airlines Center.

If we absolutely had to have the naming rights sold then I wanted to have an American brand I could be proud of. Something like The Harley Super Dome. If we can't have an American sponsor then I am happy that Mercedez is known for quality. It will always be the Super Dome to me.

I'm all for supporting local/national businesses, but would you really prefer f.e. Walmart Superdome to MB Superdome just because one is an American business, but with very shady practices?

Nope! American products just don't have quality built in anymore. You make a good point.

For anyone that hate this name or the idea...

Remember this?:

Lombardi Gras - YouTube

Guess what brand of car this is our coach is carrying that Lombardi Trophy through his roof in?

1 clue, they just put their name on the Superdome.

Mercedes Manufacturing Plant in Alabama, USA

Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Mercedes manufacturing facility where the M-Class, the R-Class, and the GL-Class are built.

Everything is under one roof… from Body, Paint, and Assembly shops to Administration and Shipping. This unity helps to emphasize the importance of teamwork and to foster team member communication and facilitate the consistent, incomparable quality inherent in the assembly of all Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

No doubt. They build a great car and in some ways its better that they build them in Alabama than elsewhere, but all profits still go back to Germany.
