Rose Garden changing name to MODA Health?

[Draco]

On 1080am the fan they saying Issac Roppe is tweating something about the name rights being sold to the company that used to be called ODS health for a $4.xx million deal.

 

[Draco]

Funny thing is Issac is on vacation drinking in California so who knows if this is legit.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I think I'm going to be sick.

I think I'm going to be sick.

Why?

 

[BBert]

Moda Health. What a terrible name. I hope this isn't true.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Why?

1. It sounds dumb.
2. Its a play on their name "MODA Health"

 

[Draco]

$4.2 million per year. Not sure what the exact name is the "Moda Health Garden" sounds pretty stupid.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Meh, I dont really care what it's called. If moda health was the biggest deal they got, they deserve it. It's a business.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

The MODA Health Rose Garden
The Rose Garden of MODA HEALTH
MODA HEALTH ARENA
MODA ROSE GARDEN
:MARIS61:

come on ADIDAS STEP YOUR SHIT UP!

"thanks alot, Obamacare!"

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

The MODA centere doesn't sound so bad if we spell it the european way. :MARIS61:

So sad. The Rose Garden was one of the classiest arena names in professional sports. They will probably call it something like The MODA Health Rose Garden. Doesn't matter. It just sounds stupid. It really doesn't impact the roster. It's not like this gives us $4.2 million in cap space. So, the product won't be any better, and I seriously doubt they will LOWER ticket prices or the cost of beer and hot dogs. So, it's just additional profit with no benefit to the fans.

Shit, I'm going to see Pearl Jam there in November. Can't wait to tell my date we are going to the MODA Health Arena instead of the Rose Garden.

"Moda Health Center" sounds like a place you go for treatment.

"Moda Rose Garden" isn't so bad... maybe they consider that.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

I still see everyone calling it the rose garden around town so oh well.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Mo Duh! Mo Money!

Well your probably right but the $4.2 million adds up, that is $42 million over 10 years. It might be the difference in Paul Allen deciding to pay some luxury tax one season if its the difference between us contending. He might be fine paying tax if the Blazers company as a whole will still be in the black but doesn't want to have to stick $42 million of his own money into the company from some other investments.

Pretty much this. I still call the sears tower the sears tower. I still call comiskey park comiskey park. I'll still call it the rose garden. 4 million a year covers the $$ allowed to be included per year for NBA transactions, so I figure the naming rights helps to grease the wheels on a trade or two per year. A few new banners and signs around I'll likely ignore. woohoo

 

[Wheels]

if changed... will still always be called Rose Garden by me.. much like Utah fans still call it Delta Center

Wasn't the Comcast deal $180 million over 10 years? What did that get us? A bunch of pissed off fans who can't watch the games and the team right back in the lottery. If there is one thing Paul Allen has proven, all the money in the world can't overcome bad decisions.

...via Pinwheel Empire's Facebook feed:

According to Dwight Jaynes on Twitter, the Blazers are denying the report they have sold the naming rights to the RG to Moda Health (formerly ODS).

 

[maxiep]

I think it would be a great move for MODA Health. They could say, "Our insurance is so good, we even cover the Blazers and they're injured all the time!"

 

[PapaG]

Reminds me of Mothra

 

[Sinobas]

Sorry, I'm not going to call it Moda Health Garden. I refuse, anyone want to join me in this rebellion?

 

[MrKupka]

I can honestly tell you this seems AWFUL fishy, and I'm willing to bet it's complete bunk, as Ropp is the only source 'reporting' on this acquisition.

 

[Blazinaway]

My god we have an incredibly rich billionaire owner and we are possibly changing the Ros egarden name to "Moda-health" WTF is the world coming to? LOL

 

[Blazinaway]

Reminds me of Mothra

or Ramtha or some shit like that

 

[Blazinaway]

F this shit - I'd like to see a thread on Comcast and why aftyer 3 or 4 or however many FUKKING YEARS it is there is no agreement with Comcast or Dish to broedcast Blazer games?

 

[BBert]

Good first post. Here's your first rep.

 

[BBert]

BTW: I have ODS, err "MODA". I think it's a stupid ass name. Good job on the 'rebranding'.

 

[dviss1]

If you don't need the money then why?

I will never call it anything but the Rose Garden....
