In reply to the discussion: President Trump wants new Commanders stadium to be named after him [View all]Wiz Imp
(8,163 posts)30. Every stadium and arena built today has their naming rights paid for by corporations.
Washington isn't going to bypass that huge amount of revenue (which they collect on an annual basis) for anyone. So, is Trump willing to pay $700 million over the next 20 years for his name to be on the stadium? Because that's the going rate.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_rights
The record for the largest naming rights payment belongs to the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. On 17 November 2021, a 20-year, US$700 million sponsorship deal was reached between Anschutz Entertainment Group and Singapore-based Crypto.com to rename the Staples Center.
Or, if we look just at NFL stadiums, it would still cost him at least $400 million over 20 years.

Major naming rights contracts in the NFL include:
SoFi Stadium: $400 million over 20 years
Allegiant Stadium: $25 million per year
Mercedes-Benz Stadium: $324 million over 27 years

NFL stadiums aren't named after well known people any longer, huge corporations pay teams and stadium owners

I say they should do it, put his name in gaudy cheap plastic gold lettering on the outside.
