NAMED: Levi's® Stadium thread

Levi's is fine. I like the name and we'll all get used to it. Nobody seems to ever like change, but then they just carry on with their life. The name really could be worse, so be grateful that it isn't Kia, Huggies, or Lulu lemon. Jed is no dummy. He picked a company that has global recognition. I love the Levi's link to the original miners. Some people said that 49ers and Levi's don't equal football, but they equal America. Nothing says American like football and nice pair of Levi's.... I hate that it's only May, but rookie training camp starts today, so we'll have more stuff to b**ch about.

I like the idea of Levi Stadium. It has staying power.

Man, i didn't realize that the naming rights will pay for 1/4th of the stadium cost. What other sponsors can help pay for that nice ass stadium?

It doesn't quite work that way.

1) 66 Mil goes directly to the 49ers. We could complain about that but thats only 30% of the deal. By contrast, the Seahawks, Rams, and Cards kept 100% of the naming rights deals....tho they were smaller and the teams covered some building overruns.

2) The remaining money won't get directly applied to the cost of the stadium. It's 11 mil per season, not a lump sum of 220 million. The stadium is financed, so a good portion of that 11 mil per will actually be applied to the INTEREST on the loan, not the principal.

I'm just guessing here, but I'd guess that only 80 to 100 mil of that contract actually goes toward paying down the principal of the loan.

Levi's Stadium is a rather interesting name for their new home, but I guess I'll...
