Slightly OT: Rose Garden naming rights

[Boise Blazer]

I saw this tweet and thought it was kinda funny. And then I thought how cool it would be to actually have my name associated with the Blazers like that.

I would buy the naming rights to Portland Trailblazers Rose Garden Arena. I'd call it "Ben's Blazers Arena" #ifiwonthepowerball #ripcity

Agreed, although I would make sure it could still be compatible with the Rose Garden name. Wright's Rose Garden wouldn't be so bad...

Hmm...

Boob's Rose Garden... No.

Rose's Boob Garden... Better.

or just:

The Boob. Winner, winner chicken dinner!

Think I'm understanding why over half of lottery winners end up bankrupt.

The lottery winners still have less money than Paul Allen.

"The Hemp Palace", perhaps?

This non-story just makes me angry. "Oh, look, let's make a positive PR story out of the fact that we are trying to squeeze as much blood out of this stone as we can and spin it like it's actually benefiting the fan."

I don't see concession prices going down.
I don't see ticket prices going down.
I don't see parking fees going down.
I don't see the fan experience at the For-Now-Rose-Garden enhanced in any way due to this.

Just another product to pimp along with the Well Fargo Timeout while we watch the Blazerdancers brought to you by Dosha salon waiting for the Halftime activity brought to you by Burgerville.

Shit, put a corporate logo on the court. The uniforms. The seats. The Ball. The glass backboard. Make everyone wear Google Glasses with corporate logos floating in space while you try to focus on the actual reason you are there, to watch a basketball game.

I'm just hoping they use the $ to keep more people from getting laid off for the next 15 years. Of course, that's easy for me to say as I live too far away to go to games and feel the effects you're talking about.
