Sports Authority at Mile High

The Denver Broncos currently play at Sports Authority Field at Mile High, but when Sports Authority filed for bankruptcy last month, the Broncos began hearing from other companies that wanted to purchase the naming rights. And now a new candidate has emerged a company representing an industry that has never previously been involved in stadium naming rights: Marijuana.

Native Roots, a legal marijuana dispensary with 14 stores in Colorado, says it has the money to take over the $6 million a year Sports Authority is currently paying, and the interest to make a competitive bid to rename the Broncos’ home Native Roots Field at Mile High.

It would only prove that ethics go out the window when it comes to sponsorships.

I still call it Invesco Field at Mile High. I get lost with all these renames. I had a conversation with a friend about when I went to the Network Associates Coliseum - "Oh, you mean the McAfee Coliseum?" "No, he means the Oakland Coliseum". If it wasn't for the coliseum bit you'd think you're talking about 3 completely different stadia.

I know sponsorship by tobacco companies is banned in most sports (NFL included?) - surely this would come under that?

Ethics only go out the window if you believe weed is bad. Alcohol is a horrible vice and the industry has sponsorships everywhere in life.

this would be terrible

i hope a gigantic bank, beer, or oil company swoops in and saves us from the moral scourge of marijuana

There is no such thing as "the moral scourge of marijuanna."

Gotta be the most worthless stadium naming right out there.  It's Mile High Stadium, period.  The field name doesn't matter.  No one pays attention to it, I live 30 minutes away from it and honestly had you twisted my arm I'm not sure if I would've been able to tell you that it was Sports Authority Field.

Hell, it'll be the same story again if it goes to a typical corporate sponsor.  The only way to make that name actually matter is to do something way out of left field.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
