Mercedes-Benz declines to renew Superdome rights, opening door to new name next year

Time to rename the Superdome and we've got some suggestions

I have never been a fan of branding buildings, just feels cheesy. It is the Super Dome, if you absolutely have to change the name then Mega-Super Dome is sufficient.

I agree but we know its not just about the name - it's about the money that backs up the name. I just hope they dont partner w a company like Massengill or Pepto Bismol.

Tom Benson owned Mercedes Benz of New Orleans ans without a doubt was key in the naming rights process. I suspect the license expired and with out Tom being around to secure an extension it went elsewhere.

Atlanta missed the mark. 'Viagra Dome - Rise Up' would have endured centuries

Except they still couldn't get it up. Their one best chance they went limp.

I just remember liking it being called "The Louisiana Superdome" before they went all commercial.

Two things about using the strippers sponsor. We are a family run organization and that would never fly...….OK it's only one thing.

Watching Married with children last night and during the baseball strike Al and the boys played games sponsored by......you guessed it. The nudie bar.

I’ve always hated corporate naming of stadiums too. It’s freakin embarrassing.

Bowl games have become the stadium naming-lite version.

Tabasco is big enough. I've travelled to 32 countries - tabasco was there. Everywhere coke is - I'd be willing to bet Tabasco is there too. Went to Prague right after the Iron Curtain came down and at the restaurant we ate in there was tabasco on the table. Think of the restaurants that have it, then the people who have it. Tabasco has been on the shelves of every grocery store in the USA that I've been to. STEP UP TABASCO!!! Do the HOME Team a solid.
