CP Rail, Rodgers, or Air Canada?

NIKE was an official sponsor of the Olympic Winter Games in a big way. I bet there was some backroom deal early on that included naming rights to the new stadium.

Just sayin'.

^ I don't think Nike was a sponsor of the 2010 games: List of Sponsors. Looks like they did some footwear and some apparel for the US team, and they might have sponsored some of the other national Olympic committees I guess.

Anyways, are there any stadiums/arenas named after athletic companies? They might avoid that due to conflicts with the sponsors of leagues using the facilities...

it's just a nod to canadiana. can't have white seats getting dirty can we?

TwoFace · #**2674** Posted **Jan 16, 2011, 7:49 PM**

Since BIG BAD Rogers has muscled into Shaw's turf in a big way, I would assume that Shaw needs to make some type of statement to regain it's western prominence.
A 10 year deal on the stadium should do it.

Not a chance. Who puts white seats in a stadium?

Ya, they did some sport-specific stuff for various countries. But I don't really see how that ties into a naming rights deal with PavCo...

Fairbanks · #**2677** Posted **Jan 16, 2011, 8:13 PM**

I actually think TWOFACE is right. It's very possible that Rogers will name both arena and stadium.

g35 · #**2678** Posted **Jan 16, 2011, 8:13 PM**

Red seats don't age very much. Look at GM Place. From the bowl it looks like a brand new stadium 15 years later. Why? Dark red seats. I don't know what shade BC Place's will be but I wouldn't be surprised if they took a cue from their neighbour.

That's not what I said. I'm thinking that Shaw will name the Stadium to counter Rogers with the Ice Arena.

Pinion · #**2680** Posted **Jan 16, 2011, 9:01 PM**

If both are named Rogers, that would be spectacularly dumb.

Especially since people are already confusing Rogers Arena and Rogers Centre.
