Mercedes-Benz declines to renew Superdome rights, opening door to new name next year
In about a year, New Orleanians will have to start getting used to calling the Superdome by a new name.
New Orleans Saints spokesman Greg Bensel confirmed Tuesday that Mercedes-Benz won't renew the naming rights to the Superdome. The end to the agreement with the German carmaker, which is set to expire in July 2021, has set off a search for another sponsor.  "The agreement is not being renewed, based on Mercedes-Benz having other opportunities," Bensel said. "Mercedes-Benz has been an excellent partner for our team, the building and our region. We could not have asked for a more well-respected global company to have as our inaugural naming rights partner." The search marks just the second time in the Superdome's 45-year history that its naming rights have been up for grabs, and will end an unusual three years in which the Saints and arch-rival Atlanta Falcons both played in stadiums with the same sponsor. more here on NOLA | |
