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

From what I've read and heard, the target money will be around $100 million to get the naming rights for 10-15 years. So it will take a pretty big brand to throw that kind of cash around. Not sure if they could swing it, but how about the "Popeye's Love that chicken dome".

NAME: BlackandGold.com Superdome
FIELD NAME: Roger Goddell-Gate Ref-Robbing Field

RULES: Depending on how bad the ref calls are during games will determine how much urine is in the Gatorade the refs drink. Good calls, no controversy - clean water and good food. Bad calls - drinks laced in pee and after game goose liver that's - well let's just say they'll be motivated to make decent calls!
