with Al Michaels.
"Were in New Olreans at the Superdome."
"We welcome you inside the Superdome"
Mercedes-Benz Superdome Al!
This might take a while to catch on

I was thinking the same thing... I don't think it was mentioned or brought up once.

when you have a 40 year old building thats been called "The Superdome" for its entire existence, it may take a while for even the broadcasters to throw in "Mercedes-Benz" when they say the name.

they waited probably 3 weeks for that opening and got rebuffed with silence.....lol

I feel like somewhere, theres a very unhappy German.

are they legally required to use the sponsor name?

don't mess with the germans, they are prone to overreaction

And I don't see ANY M-B signage at the Dome.
I thought that behind the endzones were huge Mercedez Benz banners?
I thought the field had "Mercedes-Benz Superdome" painted on either side of the FDL?

They might claim ownership of the dome and force us to play at Tad Gormley.

They still call the Hornets the Charlotte Hornets sometimes so I think this may take a while.

It's a good thing Arnie Fielkow doesn't work for the Saints anymore. You know the Germans would try to make him the scapegoat.

Which is exactly why I have said many times that a corporate sponsorship of the Superdome is not really all that valuable to the corporation that buys it.
It's not smart.
But... thanks for the $$$, stupid!

"looking down at the newly named Mercedes-Benz Superdome"
Al Michaels must have gotten a sternly worded phone call from a man named Hans.

As long as they keep showing that big arse logo hanging from the ceiling, MB doesn't care

Jim Henderson is with the program. He mentions it every chance he gets.
Posted on 10/23/11 at 8:37 pm to Lsuhoohoo
Al Michaels travels in a Hummer limo, he dont care.
Posted on 10/23/11 at 8:37 pm to Jim Rockford
is Hendu driving a new Benz by any chance?

Could it be b/c NBC's Sunday Night Football is sponsored by Toyota???
