"Under Armour Performance Center"....

Thoughts?

Love it.

Another solid revenue stream. Both Bisciotti and Plank are local boys and have the respective businesses in the state.

IMO, the days of the stadium being called M&T Bank stadium are numbered. Under Armour Stadium will be upon us in 2018.

Not that it matters in terms of the Salary Cap, but CASHFLOW is another thing entirely.

That said, there hasn't been a ton of bonus money kicked out this year.

Agreed.

Not only would that be a great local connection, but it might be the best corporate named stadium in all of sports. I love the sound of it.

In the meantime, it's nice to see them sponsor the training facility.

Yea, the writing on the wall is pretty much there for that.

I heard somewhere that Pittsburgh's PNC bank was eying acquiring M&T -- that would be almost like having Iron City beer as the stadium preferred brew.

**CoverD** · 06-08-2012, 06:47 PM

Its a fantastic name.

And I hope that M&T Bank becomes Under Armour Stadium, I think that's got a very nice ring to it.

**Strange Bru** · 06-08-2012, 08:47 PM

UnderArmour Stadium would sound cool, but I'm sure Dolphins fans felt the same way about ProPlayer Stadium. I don't want another local company going under just to put their name on a stadium (PSI.net Stadium).

I wouldn't be surprised if a
Piss company bought out MT. A Piss company bought out Mercantile while my friend
was a VP. He and all the other officers went into quick retirement.

To me it will always be Ravens stadium and Oriole Park and the Castle.

I'm sure they players will get all the gear and prototypes. Too bad the league won't let them do the uniform thing

I am so SICK & TIRED of these BS naming rights deals. So UA goes bankrupt in 5 years and it will be some other BS name on the door. It has been 'the castle', it is 'the castle' and it will be 'the castle' long after outside money ceases putting it's name on the door.

**BcRaven** · 06-08-2012, 10:33 PM

"The Castle" or whatever other name is a moat point to me... Bc

I seriously doubt UA are ever going to go bankrupt, let alone in 5 years.
