The New Orleans Saints and Mercedes-Benz announced Monday that they have reached a 10-year naming rights agreement that will turn the 36-year-old Louisiana Superdome into the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

Officials from the Saints, Mercedes-Benz and the state are expected to make the official announcement at a news conference Tuesday at the iconic stadium on Poydras Street where they'll unveil plans for the new signage in and around the stadium, where the Mercedes-Benz name and logo will be featured prominently.

"This is a great, great partnership," Gov. Bobby Jindal said Monday. "I know for many years there have been attempts to sell this sponsorship, and I think the restructured deal and the new Superdome are two of the reasons this is actually happening. So I think this is great for the Saints and great for the state."

It has been speculated that naming rights might be in the works, and there were rumors of a few different corporations mentioned, but apparently nothing was finalized until now. Mecedes-Benz does have an international reputation and is known for being classy. At least the dome isn't going to be known by a cheesy sounding corporate name like a few other stadiums and facilities.
