DarkJourney Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Even among NFL owners, Jerry Richardson is a particularly odious man. It's inexcusable that a guy who played in the league would have so much contempt for the people who play in it now. But aside from all that, a relative small fry in Charlotte has no business being on the relocation committee. It's like Peter Karmanos wielding significant power in the NHL because he's hung around a long time.and the dude only played 2 years in the NFL before calling it a career and becoming rich off of Hardee's and Flagstar. Every time he makes a public appearance all I can think of is an episode of Matlock. Seersucker suits anyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free advertising if people talk about the stadium for years, but it never gets built.That was my first thought as well. I'm not sure Farmers ever put a single dollar down; they got all the publicity for the commitment to pay had the stadium been built.Smart move, though. Gives everyone something more concrete to talk about than "our stadium project down by the river and north of the Arch." The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

The_Admiral Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The Florida Panthers' arena of many names was at one point the "National Car Rental Center." It sounded bad then and sounds bad now. Why not Enterprise Field? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 They say it's about target market. I don't necessarily understand since Enterprise advertising strongly to the NHL, and I wouldn't expect those markets to be drastically difference. It may be about breathing life into the brand, I don't know. (Enterprise didn't own National when they sponsored the Panthers arena.) I figure if this comes to pass it will start being referred to as just National Field or something anyways, which isn't as bad. It's a lame name, but I suppose it could be worse.

When most people have to deal with them, they get bugged to buy insurance aka "protection" and hire of lot of new college graduates but weed most of them out within 90 days not to provide health insurance. National is essentially an airport-only brand, which is just get into your rental and leave with little to no sales interaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL FANATIC Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Apparently St. Louis is dragging it's feet on getting the financial details hammered out and presented to the league (and the Board of Alderman).

TheOldRoman Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 This might be an unpopular opinion, but PF Chang's blows. However, that $12.99 all-you-can-eat Hooters wings deal would be life altering. I love their wings, but go maybe once every few years because I don't want to be that guy. Still, if they had that deal by me, I would go every Tuesday night until I ate myself to the point of being bed-ridden. Buffalo Wild Wings has better sauces, but the wings aren't even close.

I've been to all of them.And I'm sure you're better off for it. I love Chinese food. Buffets are almost never as high quality as regular Chinese restaurants, but I can never choose and want a little of everything. So I'll trade better egg rolls so I can have some General Tso, egg foo young, seafood delight, crab Rangoon, and maybe even a slice of cheese pizza because what the hell.
