I guess Miles getting shite canned freed up some money to blow on marketing since they don't have to pay him anymore.

BATON ROUGE - The city's downtown performing arts, entertainment and convention space will likely be known - officially - as the Raising Cane's River Center following a vote by the Metro Council Wednesday afternoon. The mayor's office and River Center managers told the council at a meeting a group started working on a sponsorship for the facility a year ago. The group sent proposals to thirty-nine companies, six responded and only Raising Cane's expressed enough interest in the $3 million contract.
The deal is for ten years and will raise between $300,000 and nearly $400,000 each year. Money will be used in an official city account on River Center upgrades and support.
Naming rights deals are not unusual for event centers. In 2011, automaker Mercedes bought the naming rights to the Superdome in New Orleans. It is now called the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. A price for the ten-year deal was never disclosed.
At the council meeting in Baton Rouge Wednesday, those close to the deal said the mayor's office could move forward with the deal Thursday since it received council approval.

So you're saying the River Center will shrink in a few years?

That seems like a rather shitty arena to put your name on.

I was thinking the same thing. I hope some major upgrades are coming, especially to the exterior, cause that is one ugly building. I'd put it right up there with the Middleton library as ugliest buildings in the city.

Maybe they plan on renovating it.

Somehow, someway, selling the naming rights to Raising Canes was racist...

Can't rename anything until an arena is built in north Baton Rouge.

And ticket prices will continue to go up.

You'd think Rotolos would be all over this, but I guess that old bastard is too cheap
