Tushy Stadium - PR stunt or legit PR move for naming rights?

PR stunt all the way.  Doesn't sound like the company has anywhere near the capital to afford naming rights on an NFL stadium.

I don't know about that, heard they were offering big money to someone who could become a blogger/influencer for the company and do promotional stuff on social media for them

The New Era deal wasn't a huge amount when you compare it to the new, bigger stadiums being built in higher profile areas

I could see God having a sense of humor. 
 

God haven’t you given Buffalo Bills fan enough misery?

 

God: Okay okay they’ll win the super bowl. However there is no pre season. No fans can attend. There will be limited games. There will be an asterisk next to their super bowl win.  Oh and their stadium has to be renamed to the toilet bowl.

There’s got to be some other local corporate raider out there willing to bid at least 13m and save us from the a**hat jokes?? I dunno, maybe a shoehorn factory or turpentine cannery? :rolleyes: 

Or national company doing business locally.

 

Telsa Turf... SolarCity Stadium...

The locals will invariably drink from the bidets thinking they are water fountains.  So not a good idea.


And then when the Bills Mafia starts jumping on the portapotties, it would all end.

Something sad about M&T Stadium not being in Buffalo, but Baltimore. M&T acquired Wilmington Trust, so that might explain it. No Buffalo businesses really want to spend 4 mil on the naming right. Rich Stadium was the best name IMO, but probably not now interested. Even the talk of toilet bowl sucks. Thanks Polencarz for positive input of no longer acknowledging New Era's donation.

You have to admit, you can’t write this script up any funnier (a@#hat stadium, the shite hole, and so on). We could win the next 5 SB’s straight and still be the laughing stock of the league if the Pegulas took Tushy up on their offer.  Their not that dumb.  They won’t so I wouldn’t worry about it.

 

Yolo had a good idea with Amazon, or another monster company that does business everywhere.  It’s too bad I still don’t think beer companies can buy the naming rights of a stadium as that would make it easy.  Then again, God would probably play a sick joke on us and have the name go to Busch Stadium.

So this company is private, so it’s hard to find anything substantive on revenue, but one wiki said they were in capital fundraising in 2018 and prior. And booked 20 mil revenue in 2019, then they cited some mister days in Q1 20 during the great toilet paper drought.

 

Still hard to fathom how they can swing the margin to support a naming deal.  And then even if they could, is that name something pegs want to tie to the franchise.

 

ill add when you google Tushy, and don’t do this at work, the bidet company is not the top hit.

Google, Amazon, Apple, etc., should jump to this. I mean I know where not New York City, L.A, or Chicago, but there are only 32 NFL teams out there. It would be a drop in the bucket for them too and look good as they are investing in a smaller city. Unless of course, they don’t want to be associated with a stadium that was built in 1973.

If these worldwide giants wanted to get into the stadium naming rights business, they would just wait for an opportunity to open up in a major market.  They aren’t wasting their time slapping their name on an aging stadium in a small market.

Why on Earth would you allow a company to make payments over time for stadium name rights, like it's a toaster oven on layaway???

 

Announce that you'll take no less than $5 mil per year, with a minimum of 5 year term, and all of it paid in advance. Then let the bidding begin, and accept the best offer with a non-offensive name.

 

Any company that can't swing that isn't ready to play in the NFL sandbox.

I’ve always wondered, do teams actually get a decent return on investment for this? Has there ever been anyone watching the Bills play and suddenly going “ you know what, I need a New Era hat”.  Especially considering the stadium name is pretty rarely mentioned on air?

I'm hoping it's all a bad joke.

After hearing the news of New Era dropping the naming rights, I joked to the wife, "Welp, here comes Preparation H Stadium!" I didn't think I'd actually be close to what it could be called. I'll leave a bag of flaming dog poo on ol' Uncle Terry's porch if we end up with frickin' Tushy Stadium. I've always hated stadium naming rights. We end up with a bunch of dumbsh*t sounding arenas and stadiums named after banks and other BS. Quicken Loans Arena! Smoothie King Center! KFC Yum Center. What in the everloving crap is that?!

 

What else we got here... Camping World Stadium, wow, someone help me get a grip because the excitement there is just astounding. Guaranteed Rate Field! What the crap! Oh, here's a fun one, a UK rugby team plays in the Mend-A-Hose Jungle. I can't wait until we have Flex Tape Arena. Or KY Jelly Stadium... Hormel Pork n' Beans Center... Tampax Field... Depends Center... Or maybe my personal favorite, Oops I Crapped My Pants Arena!

 

I just can't stand it. There could be a workaround where the company still gets their name on the stadium but it could be like, Buffalo Stampede Stadium (brought to you by Johnson & Johnson Super Soft Baby Butt Wipes!) But I suppose there's just too much money to be made. That's a whole other rant. 

 

I've always felt a stadium or arena oughta be named after the team, the city or state, some kinda traditional thing pertaining to the city or state, the owner, a famous player from said team, a coach, anything. Anything besides a stadium that doubles as a gigantic billboard for Uncle Pete's Fat Shack or Big Earl's House of Dingleberries or whatever.
