Unintentional Grounding Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 The only way I like this is if the saints lose the rights to the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAD597 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 so hopefully we will only be sharing rights with the Saints for the next 10 years. Very Lame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambysquared Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I don't really care what it's called, but MB being a sponsor is quite weird when your biggest rivals also have a MB named stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJmusic Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 $$$$$$$$$$$Does any other NFL Stadium have the same name? That really sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbabygrady Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 There's outs in any and every contract. It's not inconceivable that MB would keep naming rights to two stadiums simultaneously but if they did want to get out of the sewerdome (and who wouldn't) I would bet money that there is some kind of buyout that they can do to exit that place.with MB US headquarters here in atlanta, it just makes sense for them to occupy the biggest, baddest sports and entertainment complex in the southeast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCFalconfan Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I think it speaks volumes to how awesome this stadium will be that Mercedes feels the need to jump on this while they are even already on another stadium. Tells me that they think Atlanta will have probably the most ground breaking stadium for several years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BankerBird™ Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Just saw on Twitter that the roof of the new stadium will have the MB logo on it. Should be pretty cool to see as the roof opens and closes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRUNKuno Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Absolutely hate it.Nothing about it has Atlanta or Georgia in it.Benz basically tramp stamped the stadium putting big Benz logos on it everywhere.Not to mention the Saints still have Mercedes as well.Epic fail on the true to atlanta front. Huge win in the pay off your debts front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercedes guy says that they might rethink the Saints deal...actually what he said was at the time they bought the rights to the toilet bowl in NO, there wasn't even the thought they'd move here, much less have their names on two stadiums in the same division and that they will deal with "that" when the time comes. I personally think the time has come.If they have the naming rights, can't they just change the name over there? put a secondary brand name on it. Maybe they can sell their rights to tidy bowl or some other company like that thing that turns the water blue every time you flush. Should be something to reference going dark right in the middle of taking care of business.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge win in the pay off your debts front.their US headquarters moved here this summer, so does that not qualify for having something Atlanta in it? They are new to Atlanta but they'll be here for years to come. I for one welcome our new mercedes logos. Could have been something boring like Southern Company or Home Depot, you should be happyNot sure why all the uproar around their sewerdome sponsorship. they upgraded to the new hotness, if anything it's a slap in the face to the saints organization. but they don't care either because they're getting paid too, for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was purely financial with no regard for the city of Atlanta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
