Saints and Falcons will now have Mercedes-Benz stadium names?
 
1 Attachment(s)
In a move bound to create conversation, the Mercedes-Benz will now also share naming rights with the Atlanta Falcons new stadium.

Quote:

Mercedes-Benz is buying the naming rights to the new stadium being constructed by the Atlanta Falcons. The car company, of course, also has applied its name to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

The Superdome and the car company signed a 10-year agreement in 2011.
So there you have it. What do you think?

Let Benz pay the balance of the agreement, the Superdome goes back to being referred to as The Louisiana Superdome (or New Orleans Superdome, either one), and the Clowns can have the Saints sloppy seconds.

As someone else said, we own their dome anyway, M-B just made it official.

That's kinda been their calling card for most of their existence.

Maybe the stadium will have sewer drains that work.

More traveling Saints fans than season ticket holders

Do they pump in revving engine noise now?

Arthur Blank not wanting to use Homo Depot - Orange is the new Black speaks volumes

If you have to copy, Which would you rather have?

Lucas Oil or Mercedes?

They just won't be seeing much of the Benz Zone

sounds like we will be looking for a new sponsor, if Benson does not already have one lined up.

Mercedes has several classes, including the elite S-Class.
They also have an affordable A-class which is a hatchback.

As long as they distinguish between the two stadiums I'm okay with it

I don't like it. I didn't want a sponsor in the beginning but Mercedes Benz has improved the look of the Superdome.

Mercedes needs help with market research in US sports. This is a major faux pas. Not cool at all. Just because you can do something does not mean you should is how I see it. These team hate each other. The hate for some is stronger than the love for their own team.

Does it matter? Nobody refers to the Dome as the Mercedes Benz Superdome anyways.

Re: Saints and Falcons will now have Mercedes-Benz stadium names?
 
It matters to me. I'm in the market for a luxury car. They were in the mix but not anymore. I hate the Falcons. I hate them with every cell in my body. Front runner now is the new Cadillac that is replacing their SRX. The SD with a Caddy endorsement would fit much better IMO.

I agree, but will also say that naming rights are the biggest waste of money in advertising.
The announcers say it maybe once a game, there is one graphic for the company at the beginning of the game, and that's it. 15-20 million a year, and how many cars are they selling based on a stadium name?
