Talk:Naming rights/Archives/2015

Wrigley
Actually, the Cubs and their stadium and the chewing gum company, as well as others, were all owned by the Wrigley family, so it is reasonable to say that they named the ballpark (and another one in Los Angeles that was used by minor league teams) for themselves, but of course the name recognition certainly furthered their interests. It was not like naming rights in the modern sense, where someone with no real connection to the venue or event signs a contract with those who control it to promote their name.

Interested to read about Candlestick Park, here in Australia we pretty much swallow it without any qualms. Princes Park, in Melbourne, in use for over a century, was quickly supplanted by Optus Oval. -- Paul 08:48, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I haven't heard of any naming rights being sold for anything in any of the following categories. It would be good to give at least one example for each. External link Weekly Naming Rights news
