Ironic that a ticket resale/exchange site now has its name on the home of Chivas USA, a team who can't sell nor giveaway tickets to it's own games. #MatchMadeInHeaven
Did anyone make the requisite "don't they know Cobi Jones retired or were they thinking of the fans" joke yet?
To follow up on this since it was written in January, the rugby tournament has since been cancelled and won't take place.
$60 Million over 6 years for naming rights. Seems like a pretty good deal and overall good for the league.
http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/new...edges-make-carson-soccer-stadium-fan-friendly Not sure how accurate this is but That's very good if true.
$130 million in naming rights in what will be just 16 years is tremendous business by AEG. That was about the cost of the construction of the entire complex.
OK, so lets add this up LA has the largest shirt deal at $4.4M a year LA has the largest stadium deal at $10M a year LA has the largest local TV deal at $5.5M a year That is just shy of $20 million in revenue AEG is getting for just these three items.
Meanwhile New York has one corporate branded side that can't sell it's shirt and stadium rights and a local market that cares so little for it, that a mini-Manchester City (hardly a prestigious team) has been parachuted into it. Gotta hurt New York.
Well, perhaps the idea of NY2 was to make sure it went to an OG willing to create something spectacular..and had the resources to make it happen? RBNY have never really embraced NJ I fear, that can work both ways unfortunately.
Oh believe me Chivas USA isn't any better than the Red Bull issue but it's frustrating to see the Galaxy steaming on ahead when all the NYC/LA teams should be doing something similar.
How much of the naming rights money typically goes to the local municipalities that contribute land, infrastructure, and usually capital?
SixKick don't think there is a typical number for that, it depends on each stadium's contracts. For the Fire, 2/3rds of the naming rights revenue goes to Bridgeview.
