tr1 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hoo! :laugh: :laugh: I'm sure there's a friggin' bidding war among those "few people". :laugh: The luster on stadium naming rights is waning...especially for that kind of money. And, spin it as they can, the Jones' are sweating this stadium right now....this economy sucks...and it's showing in how slow things are going for the pukes' sales office. 10:36 PM CDT on Monday, March 10, 2008 http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/football/cowboys/stories/031108dnspocowbriefs.2c413af.html By TODD ARCHER / The Dallas Morning News ARLINGTON – With the Dallas Cowboys' new stadium in Arlington more than halfway complete, the naming rights for the $1.1 billion structure will start to come into focus. Executive vice president Stephen Jones said the team has had talks "with a few people" regarding the stadium's name. "Twenty [years], 30 those are the terms you normally see in one," Jones said. "And obviously that's all part of a negotiation." Reliant Energy and the Texans have a 30-year deal worth $300 million for Reliant Stadium in Houston. The New York Mets and CitiBank have a 20-year agreement for $400 million on the Mets' new ballpark, Citi Field, which is scheduled to open next year. Barclays has a similar agreement for the NBA's Nets new home in Brooklyn. Jones said the recent economy woes have not affected the team's ability to sell suites or personal seat licenses, and he does not expect it to affect a deal for naming rights. "When you're a company you can't just look at it as this small window," Jones said. "You've got to look at a naming rights deal over a 30-year period, not just over a two-three, one-year period or a six-month period when the economy may be recessed or something like that. They've got to look at it as a long-term investment." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BALLz Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Exxon is making record setting profits every year, they should get in the mix for naming rights. Of course the media and fans would undoubtedly nickname the stadium the gas station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolbeans Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 They've had such a hard time selling expensive suites that they have added 100 more because they sold all 200 they had planned. Its funny, the article says they haven't had a problem selling seats and namimg rights discussions are ongoing with no problems foreseen. You interpret that as noone wants the naming rights and they can't sell any seats. Thats stadium is going to be the greatest stadium in the world. If you think noone is going to want their company's name on it, you're nuts. They will get the richest naming rights deal in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't priced the other seats because sales are slow... ...oh, and if it was such a great naming deal, why hasn't it happened yet? The Stadium isn't an idea anymore...it's half-way completed. The trend for big money in naming deals was on the way down before one shovel of dirt was turned.

In 2-3 months when the deal is announced and its for more than $500 million, will I be trolling for pointing out that you were wrong once again?

BigDFan5 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Only in tr1 world is an article saying we are talking to multiple companies about naming rights that will go for over 10 million a year actually means nobody wants to buy naming rights LOL Also keeps saying sales on seats are slow without realizing only the most expensive seats have been offered so far and only to season ticket holders as of now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2-3 months when the deal is announced and its for more than $500 million, will I be trolling for pointing out that you were wrong once again? Good point. A parallel point: with house prices dropping like they are, why buy a house now to live in 1.5 years from now? Money wasted up front. Remember, it only takes ONE buyer to make a sale. Snyder should secretly buy the name rights. Call it Six Flags stadium Love it. Talk about ultimate ownage. The secondary name if this happened could be "Jerry's My Beyatch Stadium". Course the way Dan is running down the S-F stock prices, there may only be 4 or 5 flags left by the time the new stadium opens.

RFKFedEx Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I love the fact that many of Dallas' long time season ticket holders in the lower level of Texas Stadium will be shelved in the rafters of the new palace if they don't throw down big for the PSL to get comparable locations to their current seats. A lot of those Texans who've had there season tickets since the Cotton Bowl will be rewarded for their loyalty w/ a swift boot to the arse if they don't pay Jerrah mightily. The novelty of the HD jumbotron will wear off after a few years when they're 100 yards from the field w/ an HDTV at home. To think that we thought the upper deckers got effed over here 11 years ago. We didn't even have PSLs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCDefectors Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Just another perspective on the issue. http://www.star-telegram.com/business/story/522997.html FWST: Several firms in naming-rights talks By ANDREA AHLESStar-Telegram Staff Writer The Dallas Cowboys are shopping around the naming rights for its new stadium to "a few people," a team executive said Monday. With the $1.1 billion stadium less than 18 months from opening, Chief Operating Officer Stephen Jones said the team is looking at a 20- to 30-year deal for a company to place its name on the Arlington facility. He said he does not expect the economic downturn to affect negotiations with potential naming-rights buyers. "It's a work in progress," Jones said. "We're visiting it with a few people." Sports-marketing analysts have estimated that the Cowboys could get $10 million to $18 million a year for 30-year naming rights. The Cowboys' deal with Arlington, which caps the city's contribution at $325 million, gives the city 5 percent of any naming rights contract, up to $500,000 a year. Last year, analysts speculated that the Cowboys had narrowed their search to a single company. Jones said Monday the team has not limited its naming-rights discussion to just one firm.
