These are the scoops that I come here for. I've been sitting on this intel for almost 24 hours and couldn't contain my excitement.

There has to a company bigger than BB&T/Truist willing to bid more for naming rights on an ACC stadium. Currie should look into this. I know Dolphin stadium changes its name every year because ownership just gives it to the highest bidder.
They're the Dolphins. In the NFL. In Miami.
Honestly, I think paying big money for naming rights will probably become a dying trend. It may already be dying. Truist seems to keep it going.
I didn't realize Phillips Arena was State Farm Arena. That happened two years ago and I've watched several Hawks games since then. I guess brands do the research to justify spending the money. I assume they get enough return from it.
The initial naming rights expired in 2017, so no telling how bad Wellman fucked us on the new deal. He liked to lock in long-term contracts at bad rates for Wake Forest like it was going out of style.

Truist seems to want to throw their name on pretty much any stadium in the Southeast.
My take on it is that the original name on the arena tends to be the one that sticks. I still call the arena in Atlanta Phillips Arena, Boston is the FleetCenter, White Sox is still Comiskey, etc.
I generally agree with you, but nobody refers Bank of America Stadium as Ericsson Stadium.
And nobody even knows what the Miami stadium is called because it changes names so often.

Also...now the two largest outdoor sporting event facilities in W-S are now named Truist. Overkill much?
