TenaciousG Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Safeco got such a sweet deal on their original sponsorship, I want to say it was just a couple mil for 20 years. That was before the big boom in stadium sponsorship dollars. Its pretty insulting to the taxpayers who paid for much of the stadium to deck it out in T Mobile magenta... but then again the Mariners have never hesitated to sell out the community for a few bucks. To be fair, the marketing job does one heck of a job polishing this turd of a franchise. The ‘95 Mariners are more revered than probably either of the Marlins actual world championship teams.

keynote Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Good thing the Seahawks don't play there; WRs would hate to play in a place with lots of drops and poor reception. (ducks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from news reports or other things like the such, I've never heard someone refer to the Citrus Bowl as "Camping World Stadium". Maybe it's different when the stadium has already been sponsored before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just because Seattle is such a nomadic city but eventually you start telling people to go to "Qwest Field" and they look at you like you told them to go to Mars.
