Say what you will about Ralph Wilson Stadium (or prior to; Rich) but we have not succumbed to the dot com/name-brand-here fad......yet. or maybe we did originally? Where did the Rich in Rich stadium come from?

That fad makes a lot of money. Not sure if not "succumbing" to it makes the Bills a smart organization.

 

Even Jerry Jones didn't name a stadium after himself.

According to some of the locals I met when I was down there last year, the nickname for the area around the stadium is referred to as "Jerry World". Although they didn't call it that as an expression of admiration.

Indeed we were one of the first teams ever to sell stadium naming rights. Some earlier names, such as Wrigley Field and Busch Stadium used the team owner's name which was also attached to other products. Fenway Park was named for the neighborhood it's in, but the stadium's first owner also owned Fenway Realty. The Patriots selling of their stadium naming rights to Schaefer Brewery in 1971 slightly predates Rich Stadium.

I love how the arlington mayor says that the city will receive 500k a year from the deal which will help pay the money back the city loaned to the cowboys...they loaned 325 mil which at 500k per year would be like 600 and some years...ok bud

Maybe Cowboys will move to LA as Jerry promised a team or two would and will tell AT&T that paid for naming rights but no guarantee that Cowboys will play there.

Are you serious? Rich Products

 

BFLO is always azz backwards... We were naming stadiums after corporations when everybody was naming them after people... Now we are naming them after people when everybody is naming them after corporations! Go figure!

 

LoL

True... Some bucked the trend... Mostly all family names, including Rich.
