Dodgers Asking $12 Million for Naming Rights
Corporate greed has saturated MLB’s authentic ballparks with signage in the midst of the ivy at Wrigley Field and advertisements sprinkled over the Green Monster at Fenway Park.
Presently, America’s third-most seasoned MLB scene is hoping to resist MLB’s heritage as the most customary game significantly more forcefully by pitching naming rights to the field in Chavez Ravine, home to the Los Angeles Dodgers since 1962.
Various industry sources reveal to us that Dodger Stadium’s field — subsequently, it would be X Corp. Field at Dodger Stadium — has been available since early spring with a soliciting cost from $12 million for each season.
Sources disclose to us Entitle, the joint-wander naming-rights firm shaped for the current year by Cooper Holdings (the previous CSE) and Brooklyn Sports and Entertainment, is unobtrusively offering the bundle for the Dodgers, with BS&E Executive Vice President Mike Zavodsky leading the pack. BS&E CEO Brett Yormark would not remark on the issue.
Surely, any property can order a premium for a first-time deal, yet it’s as yet fascinating to take note of that $12 million is extensively more than numerous MLB ballparks and NHL fields are looking for the second or third round of naming rights.
The opposition additionally bears examination: another but anonymous MLB ballpark booked to open in the constantly critical Texas showcase in 2020, and Nationals Stadium in Washington, D.C., sans a corporate nameplate since it opened in 2008.
We additionally take note of that in a similar market, naming rights for the multibillion-dollar office under development in Inglewood, Calif., to house the NFL Rams and Chargers are available to be purchased.
Having paid a record $2.15 billion for the Dodgers, Guggenheim Partners is under extensive income weight. All things considered, the facetious inquiry must be whether MLB’s other as far as anyone knows hallowed offices, as Wrigley, Fenway or Yankee Stadium, are next.
