	Naming rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Naming rights are the right to name a piece of property, either tangible property or an event, usually granted in exchange for financial considerations.
		The name would later be shifted to the Busch Memorial Stadium in 1966, shortened in the 1970's to "Busch Stadium" and remained the stadium's name until it closed in 2005.
		Incidentally, the name of the FleetCenter on February 28, 2005 during the period of daily naming rights was "Boston Garden" (the name that day was bought by Fark.com and the name voted on by users[1][2]).

	The Basics
		When considering naming rights, one has to begin with the basic premise that the owner of a particular piece of property has the right to name that piece of property unless they have transferred that right to someone else.
		As the 21st century begins, it is important to note that the term naming rights as used in the industry and media needs to account for the fact that "naming rights" are in essence a package deal comprised of a variety of benefits and opportunities both for the sponsor and the team.
		Thus, in an effort to increase revenues for all parties, facility owners often transfer the right to name the facility to a team in the building in exchange for hoped-for concessions elsewhere in the lease agreement and financial relationship between the parties.

	Naming Rights -Association dedicated to raising significant capital
		Naming rights are the rights that a sponsor pays for the right to place its name in a dignified manner on a sports facility, building, park, government structure, library, airport, hospital, casino, or just about any commercial entity.
		Most naming rights that have been placed are in the one million to twenty-five million dollar ranges.
		Many naming rights’ contracts are placed on projects while they are still in their development or transitional stage, which means that if a Katrina- damaged property needs to be completely rebuilt it can still sell its naming rights.

		The venue in which it operated and played had a naming rights sponsorship that was still under contract when the team departed.
		The sponsoring firm sought to determine the remaining value of the naming rights deal in the absence of the NBA team which had left the venue.
		Measuring the value of a naming rights sponsorship is difficult primarily because of the error in measuring the number of impressions and the quality of each impression.

	corporate naming rights
		The first naming rights agreement where the name of the arena was altered to benefit a corporate sponsor occurred in 1987.
		Furthermore, while name changing has not occurred yet with any degree frequency, sport managers should be aware that if renegotiations fail, other sponsors may be leery of attaching their name to a building closely identified with a previous rights holder.
		The naming rights contract of the Midwest Express Center, in Milwaukee, is for example, the first title sponsor sale for a non-sports affiliated convention center in the U.S. Similarly amphitheaters have begun to sell their naming rights and examples include the PNC Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ and the Nissan Pavilion in Stone Ridge, Virginia.

		Rather than giving all its properties a corporate label, Simon uses its name as an umbrella brand for national efforts, such as the Simon Visa gift card, which was sold to 6.3 million people last year, and events held in cooperation with retailers and corporate partners.
		Naming that property, which sits atop a hill, was easy, says Jeffrey Bayer, founder of Bayer Properties.

		That could be the reality in the Plymouth-Canton, Mich., school district, where administrators say their budget is so tight they had to approve the selling of naming rights to their new elementary school, existing schools, athletic field and even events.
		And in Walled Lake, an outdoor classroom was named for Lowe's, the home-improvement chain.
		Selling the name denigrates the honor of having a school named after a civic leader and is only a short-term fix to schools' financial troubles, said Arnold Fege, director of public engagement and advocacy for the Public Education Network, a Washington, D.C.-based association of education advocacy groups focused on poor and disadvantaged students.

		I have specifically suggested to Invesco that any name change proposed in the future must be a direct result of a change in ownership resulting in the Invesco brand being eliminated.
		If this proposal is accepted, the limitations under which the name could be changed in the future will be developed and refined by our attorneys as they finalize the naming rights contract.
		Therefore, arguably they would be entitled to sell the sponsorship of the “Field” in the event that the naming rights were sold for the “Stadium” or the stadium is named “Mile High Stadium.” The District would take an aggressive action against such a move by the Broncos but the legal result is uncertain.

		The latest talks about naming rights come as a three-year, $295 million renovation and expansion of Lambeau Field is nearly complete.
		Schmitt said he wants the naming rights issue moved forward because a majority of Brown County voters approved the sale in an advisory referendum in 2000.
		Selling the rights would mean additional money -- at least $100 million -- to shorten the life of a 0.5 percent Brown County sales tax that is paying for part of the stadium renovation, Schmitt said.

	Gotham Gazette -- Naming for Dollars
		So when Mayor Michael Bloomberg suggested recently that the city's parks could be named after corporate sponsors as a way of helping to pay for their upkeep, it was a logical extension of a trend, begun with stadiums and now being adopted by non-profit institutions, to trade the rights to a name for corporate dollars.
		In suggesting that parks be named for corporate donors, the mayor acknowledged the success of public-private partnerships in helping to fix up and maintain the city's parks over the last few decades.
		Dozens of street names, particularly in lower Manhattan, where New York's first settlers lived, are named after the wives, sons, and daughters of the farmers whose lands comprised today's streets.

	Naming Rights
		Of course naming allows agencies to provide the ultimate recognition to the donor and sometimes your donor absolutely has to see that recognition in a very public way.
		Naming also can encourage competition among your donors, it can jump-start a stalled campaign, and raise more money for a specific project that soliciting without the naming opportunities.
		Agency officers often think that once they secure that big named gift, the donor will be so invested that he or she will continue to make large gifts.

		Azayo Pursues South Africa Name Change Campaign - The Azanian Youth Organisation (Azayo) is pushing for the name Azania to replace the Republic of South Africa, noting that the name has been used for years by the various liberation movements within the country.
		One of the reasons the name will probably fail is because it is not an African word--it is from ancient Greek word azainein meaning "dry", its mythological roots lie closer to Somalia, and as such the African National Congress sees it as a yet more colonialist name that South Africa.

		Rule 7.5(a) provides that “a trade name may be used by a lawyer in private practice.” So, for example, Larry and Annie may decide to call themselves the Edina Area Law Firm.
		Should Larry and Annie decide, however, to name their firm “The City of Edina Law Firm,” such a designation would be a violation of the rules of professional conduct.
		The rules provide that a trade name may not be used if it implies a connection with a government agency or with a public or charitable legal services organization.

	Arena and Stadium Sponsorship - Naming Rights
		However, before sponsors rush out and sign naming right sponsorship deals there are some reasons to be cautious.
		Despite nearly one-half (47%) of U.K. respondents reporting they were ‘Very’ or ‘Moderately’ in favour of a new sports arena named after a corporate sponsor, fewer than one-third of U.K. fans indicated they would be ‘Very’ or ‘Moderately’ in favour of changing the name of an existing stadium.
		According to Mark Knight, Project Manager, Performance Research Europe, a company which undertakes sponsorship naming of a stadium without considering the needs of the club or fans is guilty of ‘brandalism’ of the worse kind and is only going to harm their brand image.
