Saint Zephyr III Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 With the recent change of the SBC Center to the AT&T Center after the gargutuan merging of AT&T and SBC, it got me thinking...what is the largest company that doesn't have a stadium or a sports event bearing its name? Or simply, which major companies don't have one?I don't think Wal-Mart actually has one...or the fried-chicken franchises (KFC, Church's, Popeye's).

jrh31584 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 In fact, your have to go down to #4 in the Forbes 2000 to reach a company with stadium naming rights (Bank of America). If the are any stadia named after Citigroup, General Electric, AIG, or any subsidiaries thereof, I stand corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac the Knife Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Does Mc Donald's have one? Im not sureDomino's Pizza, Tampax, Walgreens are some others All but Domino's do not. Domino's used to be the title sponsor of the Copper Bowl, and today I believe has naming rights on some college arena somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wal-Mart kind of did if you count the basketball arena at Missouri. That changed fast.If the Kentucky Colonels had been realized in the NBA (instead of the Memphis Grizzlies, iirc) the arena in Louisville was to be called the Bucket.

Shumway Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 of course, it would be nice to have a hershey stadium. Hershey has the Hersheypark Arena and Hersheypark Stadium. The Giant Center is also located right on their property, so that could also count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the are any stadia named after Citigroup, General Electric, AIG, or any subsidiaries thereof, I stand corrected. Citigroup doesnt have a stadium that i know of, but they are the main sponsors of the Rose Bowl, so i guess you could say the Rose Bowl is citi's stadium.
