Sec19Row53 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Most definitely, some corporate arena names work better than others. "KFC Yum" or "Jobbing.com" is awful. "Target Center and "United Center" at least flow. Of course, if you keep a "regular" name as a part of it sometimes it's great. Remember the "Great Western Forum." It was years before I realized that Great Western was a sponsor.Rich Stadium was the same for me. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the arena's official name is the J. Willard Marriott Center. Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't blame the Marriotts for wanting to make sure branding was unified across applications. Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnagraffix Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Although 220 million seems like a lot, this deal doesn't even crack the top 5 in largest in stadium naming rights deals, coming in behind...5. New England Patriots - Gillette Stadium - 240 million/30 years4. Houston Texans - Reliant Stadium - 310 million/31 years3. New York Giants/Jets - MetLife Stadium - 400 million/25 years2. New York Mets - Citi Field - 400 million/20 years1. Dallas Cowboys - AT&T Stadium - 400 million/20 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example: Capital One Field wouldn't be too bad, but Capital One Field @Byrd Stadium is awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
