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.
