The Pro Player company has not existed for several years now. Am I supposed to believe that no company wants to pay for naming rights to PPS? Or is Wayne content on keeping the defunct name? I mean, the Office Depot company bought the rights to what used to be National Car Rental Center last year.

Pro Player signed a lease for a certain amount of years to acquire the naming rights for, at the time, JRS.

 

I BELIEVE the lease runs out after either this year or 2004, and some cruise lines were looking to buy the naming rights.

The two companies that I have heard being mentioned are Celebrity Cruises and DHL.

...some cruise lines were looking to buy the naming rights.

Maybe if it's called "Royal Carribean Stadium" then Vlad will want to come here...

Why can't Bill Gates just build us a stadium?

He lives in seattle...

 

But what a stadium that would be

Building a stadium for Bill Gates is like giving the City of Miami one of his "Wallets" with money in it... :lol

Bill Gates should be Part Owner.

 

Let Beinfest do the Work..

Most teams cannot afford anymore to go without a corporate sponsor. The Phillies tried naming their stadium after the late great Richie Ashburn but Citizens Bank offered too much money to turn down.

 

Another example is San Diego, do you really think they wanted Petco park?

How in the world can an on-line pet supply company (selling bird seed for $1.99 a bag) afford to sponsor a ML stadium?

 

Anybody have their financial info / NYSE?

PETCO is not just online, they have 650 stores nationwide. Id say there not doing too badly.

Petco Park = "The Doggie Bowl"

Back on Subject, I don't see why it would be the smartest thing for a cruise line to have a stadium named after them, it's not like Cruises are cheap and most of the time people that do take cruises already know what line they would take from past experience.

If it weren't for Bill Gates, this website wouldn't be anywhere as near as popular.

Give me Steve Jobs and Woz any day over Gates and co.
