Which company do you want to get the naming rights to a new 49ers stadium ? | Page 5

The Dallas Cowboys and their "death star" stadium that has drawn so much attention have been unable to find a company willing to pay for naming rights. The Niners new stadium (if it's built) will be named whatever the York's want. I prefer Walsh Field or something like that.

Will you people quit with the "Dallas still hasn't found a buyer" BS? There could be a number of reasons they haven't had a buyer, including the chance that Jerry Jones is asking too much or the fact that Dallas doesn't have the same high-tech, multi-billion-dollar GIANTS that we have in the Silicon Valley. The same goes for the situation in New York. There's a REASON they call this place the heart of technology, the Silicon Valley. Even old ass Candlestick found a few buyers to the naming rights, so I doubt they'll have much trouble in Santa Clara.

All that aside, this thread is asking which company you'd WANT to buy the naming rights. Nobody said it had to be a legitimate possibility.

Google/Oracle have to be the front runners. I just don't like the name "GooglePlex" that much... And who knows what Ellison would name it but they both basically have unlimited money so I could get used to whatever the name was as long as the field continues to be Bill Walsh Field.

So you agree it's not a legit possibility? lol

In reality, companies like Google, Yahoo and Cisco or even Apple are actually legitimate possibilities. They all have the money, the pull and the desire to advertise themselves, especially Apple when it comes to the latter. Dallas doesn't have companies like that and neither does NY.
