yeah some dick bought a bunch of billboards around the atlanta stadium saying the saints were robbed or some such
jeebus

There’s has also been multiple lawsuits filed against the League by Saints fans.

I blame this type of behavior on Chips ahoy for using chemical softening agents in their soft bake cookies during the early 90s.

insane sports fandom was made infinitely funnier to me by this set of tweets a couple months back:

I hate that Tom Brady is a ruler or other person who holds absolute power, typically one who exercises it in a cruel or oppressive way.

He does it directly, as well. That's the worst.

We're doing our Stupid Bowl party shopping at Sams Club.

I think we got 30 people coming. Some people are staying the night.

I just saw a feature on Mercedes Benz Stadium. What a place!

The finest publicly financed, yet privately named arena that Mercedes could afford.

We'll ignore that naming rights cost money in the name of humor.

We'll ignore that the stadium itself cost $1.6 BILLION dollars and naming rights only a fraction of that.

I still can't believe that the jokers at Wise Pies thought it would be a good idea to put their name on the local basketball arena (aka, "The Pit") without considering how quickly it would devolve into being called the "Pie Hole".

Ok? Still seems an odd complaint.

It's a political thing. The lolbertarian in me thinks that billionaires shouldn't be pushing construction costs and maintenance requirements onto the electorate for a hole in the ground dedicated to modern gladiatorial entertainment.

 

[Amstel]

How much is "billionaires pushing" vs "the elected begging. "

Hey, if I get the public to finance your thingie, how 'bout a uge campaign donation for me?

I agree somewhat. Although they tell us that we get back much more than the cost of the stadium. It's an investment in the community! Either way, selling naming rights seems like it would defray some of the costs away from taxpayers (although a very small amount for sure).

I know the one the Broncos have been dealing with they shared all of the naming rights info. Sports Authority's deal was 150mil for 25 years. So around 6mil a year. And that money goes solely for upkeep and updates of the stadium.
