The Official PayPal Park thread

Rereading this, I see it could be misunderstood. I did not use the word "crooked" in the slang sense of "criminal", I merely meant it was a long, not-straight meandering road which took longer than expected.

 

I'll bet John Lennon had the same problem...

I wonder how you value/price naming rights for the Quakes stadium, and if it matters that the major occupant team consistently sucks? Is $2M per year a good price?

 

Look for the upcoming announcement for 2019. Welcome to the Moat.

If there are people in the seats and the name is view-able from broadcast, then I'm sure the sponsors don't care if the team sucks or not.

 

Hmm what if the Quakes can’t find a stadium sponsor, like when we had nothing on the jerseys? What would the stadium name be for the interim? Arthur Blank would get some free naming rights? We don’t actually have a default name, fo we?

Just some idle speculation

 

Ideally, the next name will avoid the word "Stadium," which is too grandiose for our little Clubhouse. I would prefer "Field" (Soldier Field), or better yet, "Epicenter."

 

That’s a pretty good idea, except then when you google San Jose Earthquakes Epicenter you will get a lot of geologic stuff!

 

Which is exactly why every potential sponsor will want the word stadium in the name.

 

Armstrong Painting and Roofing Stadium.

Naming rights in exchange for finishing the roof and installing the siding.

 

That's three 7's aaaaaannnd a 1,2,3,4.

 

Finding a replacement naming sponsor may prove difficult because Fox wants the commitment to be open-ended to match the stadium.

 

Lagunitas Field.....Sierra Nevada Stadium.....Golden State Brewery Epicenter ......just thinking/wishing out loud....

 

Woody Hayes on Avaya Stadium:

"I like three yards and a cloud of dust. It has three sides and the cloud."

 

Lagunitas could afford to be our stadium sponsor since they are wholly owned by Heineken.

Sierra Nevada perhaps could, since they had revenues of $250 million a year in 2014. (In comparison, Avaya had revenue of $3.7 billion in 2016.)
Golden State probably couldn't afford to sponsor magnet schedule night, let alone a $2 million+ per year stadium naming sponsorship.

 

More likely it's another tech company that you may or may not have heard of.

 

I'm surprised SJSU is a sponsor.....

 

No High School Soccer Series this year?

The Quakes announced last year's series on 12/2/16: https://www.sjearthquakes.com/post/...-host-high-school-soccer-series-avaya-stadium

 

UeXO Field

 

If there's no sponsor, we can just call it "The House That Wondo Built".

 

Wondo Field? How cool would that be?
