I agree about USCw, but I don't think they really had any say-so in the matter, since they don't own the stadium. The city of LA owns it, and I guess they can name it whatever they want to.I really hate this kind of thing.
It's bad enough to have to listen to and watch relentless commercials for various "corporate sponsors" during the games. Holding up the action so that some doofus can try to kick the ball through the uprights is not only boring, but it stretches the game time, already inflated to sell whatever-in-Hades they are selling on tv, even more. What used to be 2.5 hours of pretty continuous entertainment is now a four hour marathon punctuated by hucksterism.
I suppose I have to put up with the commercials since nobody will foot the bill for keeping them out (yet). But renaming our stadium, one of college football's historic venues, for a friggin' company is where the line gets drawn.
Oh, and USCw should be ashamed of themselves. LA Memorial has been the main site for two Olympic Games as well as the USC football team for a long time. Renaming it for an airline disgraces those memories. Leave crap like this to the pros.
Oh. Then never mind.I agree about USCw, but I don't think they really had any say-so in the matter, since they don't own the stadium. The city of LA owns it, and I guess they can name it whatever they want to.
Plus, from what I heard on the radio today, it needs major refurbishment. City of LA probably needs the cash to do it.I agree about USCw, but I don't think they really had any say-so in the matter, since they don't own the stadium.

They were hoping to get a new stadium out of an Olympic bid to avoid having to renovate. At least that was the plan at some pointPlus, from what I heard on the radio today, it needs major refurbishment. City of LA probably needs the cash to do it.
Not humorous, but something could happen: Delta Airlines Stadium at Coca-Cola Field presented by The Home Depot.
Don't forget the Clermont Letterman's Lounge!!!The Cheetah at Historic Grant Field has a nice feel to it ...
No on Campus Stadium has a corporate sponsor, well except maybe OK St. and Oregon, as they are paid for by Phil Knight and T Boone.
Yeah Loserville's stadium is Papa John's Cardinal Stadiumisnt louisville's stadium on campus and called papa john cardinal stadium?
Honest question - because I'd think about it for a bit ... but would any of you be for it if "Delta Airlines presents Historic Bobby Dodd Stadium at Grant Field" earned us 2.5 million a year in straight cash to the AA? Money that could be used to pay off fired coaches, get more analysts and recruiting staff, and get a horde of drones and technology to help with practice and prep?
And to keep it somewhat sane, let's assume that the only partners would be "reputable" ones, e.g. Delta, Coke, etc. Not The Cheetah, Poulan Weed Wacker, or Fat Boy Groceries.

A corporate sponsor with marketing worked into referencing name (as you suggest) might be OK but not if traditional name is totally lost.

That broadcasting bigwig must be a sh*tty Dwag FanCorporate sponsorship of a facility is a pretty high profile deal. As a company, you are alligning yourself pretty closely with a particular program.
Makes me wonder if any locally based corporation would risk raising the ire of the dwag hoarde by signing such a big visible agreement with the NATS.
A broadcasting bigwig told me one time the quickest path to bankruptcy in sports broadcasting would be to be seen favoring Tech football over the dwags. I dont think the consequences are as dire in other sectors, but the same logic applies. Why go looking for negative responses?
With the area that LA Coliseum is in AK 47 Stadium would be a nice name for itDoes USC have any ownership of LA Memorial Coliseum? I thought the city or state owned it, but not sure.
Hated it when the Thrillerdome was tied to McDonalds.
