Only In Comedyzine It is time for cities to modernize their approach to raising money. Some cities like New Haven hire Washington lobbying firms to convince the federal government for money to fund individual projects. I propose going the route of the sports arenas, or centers as they are now called.
Corporations sponsor sports facilities.
This enables a large sum of money to the owner of the arena or stadium in exchange for the corporate name being used. The new Los Angeles arena will be called the Staples Center. American Airlines Center will be home to the Miami Heat. The National Car Rental Center will be the new home of the Florida Panthers. First Union will be the new sponsor of the facility that is home to the Philadelphia Flyers.
