I think you can rename the GA Dome whatever you want to rename it but people will still call it the Dome. Once a building has been called something for so long it’s hard to change it and have the name actually stick.

It makes me SICK that there are SO many corporate names attached to stadiums and arenas!!! NO!!!! It’s the GEORGIA DOME. When UGA comes to play for the SEC title, it gives them a huge advatange…It’s the GEORGIA dome!!!

That is DISGUSTING that Atlanta would SELL OUT like that. It would be a low down dirty (south) rotten SHAME!!! I don’t want some corporate name attached to it.

The GEORGIA Dome is for all GEORGIANS… it’s NOT for some corporation to put there name all over it!!!

This his a VERY VERY VERY BAD IDEA!!

How would Yankees fans feel if they renamed Yankee Stadium? Or Fenway Park? NO. that would NEVER HAPPEN. May it NEVER HAPPEN to the GEORGIA DOME!!

If there is a corporate name attached to it, it will no longer be a dome for Georgia, it will be a dome for whatever corporation has it’s name on it. Don’t take the GEROGIA Dome away from GEORGIA!!!!!

The idea is stupid, highly ignorant, and surely doesn’t see the bigger picture at all. The Falcons ell enough tickets. I don’t want to hear whining and crying about revenue. They make enough damn money.

The fact this idea even came up is digusting. Whoever thought of this idea should be smacked across the face…multiple times!!!!!

Paint it silver and call it the “Chrome Dome”. Seriously though, the name of the facility doesn’t have to include the word “dome”. Using another word such as “stadium” opens many other interesting naming possibilities.

For those who are calling Jimmy Carter a moron, I’ll remind you that he was a nuclear engineer in the United States Navy submarine service. If you don’t like the man’s politics, that’s fine, everyone is entitled to their opinion but to call him a moron is beyond the pale.

Note to the other Jason: Atlanta has nothing to do with the naming of the Georgia Dome. It is owned and operated by the Georgia World Congress Center, a state authority created by the state legislature.

Delta is bankrupt people. They don’t have enough money to buy a pair of shoes.

And for god sakes the Falcons arent gonna buy the naming rights they arent making enough as it is. I think they should just leave it the way it is. But if they do sell the name I hope it is to someone like Georgia Power, or any local corporation. Thats one thing we should be proud of in Atlanta is that all of our Sports Teams have a local feel to them. Of course with the way our sports teams play in Georgia we could just call it “The Choker Dome” or “Gagville” or “The Im So Tired Of Reggie Ball and Chan Gailey Ruining Georgia Tech Football That I Bought Falcons Season Tickets Dome”

I must say that I agree with taylor. Once you give something a name, it is very likely that everyone will still call it the Dome. It is the same with streets that has been renamed. If you were born in the city and have known the name to be one thing but it is changed; you seem to call the street by its old name. For instance, Bankhead will always be Bankhead to me and Ashby Street will always be Ashby Street. Although when talking to newcomers; I have to remind myself they are not familiar with the old name.

However, my suggestion for the new name is the Atlanta Arena.

No matter what people, everyone will still end up calling it “The Dome.” So you can come up with all these fancy corporate names, but in the end, will any of you ever refer to in the full name. “Hey guys, you ready to go to the Delta Dome?” I don’t think so. What they need to do is build an open air stadium that retracts so everyone in Georgia can be satisfied, because playing football in an enclosed dome is stupid!

I don’t think renaming the Dome might be good financially, but it would negatively effect the legacy of Atlanta and the image I think we would like to portray. If the Dome is to be renamed, it should only be sponsored by a GA-based company, like AFLAC, GA Pacific, Coca-Cola, or—of course—The Home Depot.

Please let it alone! Enough of the corporate names. Must we be like every other city in America? Particularly since the citizens of GA built it, why allow any corporation to have it names for them? No corporation will pay enough to repay those of us who built the dome. If a corportaion wants a dome named after them, let them build it, totally, using nothing but their funds, no government money used, none of our tax dollars spent. I resent seeing any of these stadiums/domes that have been built by the citizens through taxes and bonds being named for some corporation, who pays a relatively insignificant amount to have the thing names for them, and reaps huge advertising benefits. THe citizens build it, name it for the citizens.

Tear it down and put up an outdoor stadium. That is the where football should be played. Outside!! Did the officals in Atl. ever have their mother tell them not to play ball inside? The Falcons need an outdoor stadium and call it “Finally a venue that makes sense for football in the south”. Are the Falcons pansies? Green Bay, Buffalo, Chicago, both New York Teams, Cleveland, Denver and New England all play outdoors, and if there were teams that need a dome it would be them. Come on Falcons and Mr. Blank man-up and play football outdoors like real men do. Once you win a few Super Bowls or heck even back to back winning seasons you can be pampered, but not until then.

Stadiums in general in Atlanta are a travesty. Try to host a world class track meet or a major soccer match. Not since ‘96 has it been possible in Atlanta (even then a hedgeless Sanford Stadium was used for Olympic soccer).

The Georgia Dome is being paid for by taxes taken from individual Georgians. If naming rights are sold, who gets the money? It is my understanding the revenue would go to the Foulcons ,but how can they be given the monies when they do not own the property? All funds received from any naming rights should go toward retiring any remaining debt from the construction of the Dome. After those debts are paid off, any revenue gained, through name licensing, should be rebated to the taxpayers. The Atlanta Foulcons do not own the Georgia Dome. The citizens of Georgia do! Ergo, the Foulcons do not have dominion over whether the name is changed and they have no right to any of the proceeds from such a transaction. My guess is, you can expect a lawsuit if the naming rights are sold and the revenue purloined. I would like to call it “TIto’s Dome of Pancakes.” Catchy!

How about “Your Ad Here Dome”? Or “City for Sale Dome”? I’ve always found it revolting that sports stadiums and music venues are slapped with some corporate logo. When should we expect the city to sell out our well-known street names to the highest bidder? “Coca Cola-Peachtree Street”, “Earthlink-Auburn Ave.”, “Delta-Piedmont Rd.”. How about a little class, Atlanta? We already suffered the renaming of the Omni (one of the coolest arena names in the country) to the sterile and boring “Philips Arena”. How much money is enough? I have serious doubts that the revenue generated from the Dome’s corporate naming will help offset the Falcons ticket prices. THAT would be just giving money away, and we can’t do that.

I agree with those suggesting naming the field not the facility. i.e. Home Depot Field at the Georgia Dome.

Come to think of it, why don’t we put advertising stickers on the players helmets, and patches on the uniforms. We could have the Coca Cola and Delta end zones. How cool would it be to have a Sunday night announcer say “Bam, this is John Madden, presented by EA Sports, and featured by Miller Lite, to tell you that the Depots are on the Chick Filet two yard line and are on the march to the red and blue Delta Airlines End Zone. The extra point of course will be presented by Victorias Secret.

I think that Georgia Dome is the best name. It is what people are used to. I know that money runs everything now. If you must rename it, call it the WhoreDome. Atlanta’s protitutes would benefit from the advertising. They could each pledge $2/trick for the naming rights. It would be a financial landslide for the State and everyone would be a winner. Great idea, I think. Beats “Nokia Sugar Bowl” by a mile, in my very humble opinion. If you are going to be a whore, go all the way.

LOWE’S BOWL — Lowes would pay a fortune to get Arthur Blank’s goat!

By Matt

September 14, 2006 05:24 PM | Link to this

Ok first off — Jack needs to get a grip and a life.

Who cares? People complain about the money we’ve paid for it — it cost $210MM — that’s cheap considering each superbowl brought in $80 MM. I’m with Blank — tear that The Big Pink Zit down and build an open air stadium. I know the Dome wasn’t intended to be only for Football, but it might as well be called the panzy dome. Pink walls, purple bathrooms. There is nothing that is cool about the dome. You folks saying it’s part of Atlanta’s legacy, you’re right — another political blunder where they gave the wrong people the money and had to do it as cheap as possible. Look at the 17th street bridge, they could have made that change the face of city — instead they went cheap and built the banana bridge.

I’ve been in atlanta all my life and besides the braves winning the world series and the Georgia Aquarium, there’s not one thing that makes me proud to say I’m from Atlanta.

So tear down the Georgia Dome and build us something to be proud of. They did a good job with Philips Arena — fix the dome, tear it down. Tear it down. Tear it down. Tear it down. Tear it down. Tear it down.

I don’t care what the thing is called as long as no more of my tax dollars go to pay for something that I will never visit. Let domes, arenas and other venues pay for themselves by the patrons who care to go to those events.

United Georgia Stadium or Georgia United Stadium is my input. Let’s not be repetitious ad nauseum with the word “Dome”. We already have an Atlanta city hall dome. Also, please leave the word “peach” out of it since it has been too much over-used,if not abused,here already.Furthermore, North Carolina produces and exports much more peaches than Georgia and therefore should have the bragging rights to it.

How soon we forget! Two years ago, it was Skydome in Toronto. Now, nearly everyone calls it Rogers Centre and the more pleasant original name is lost. Whatever is chosen better be an improvement over the existing name, which isn’t all that great.

Call it Peregrin Palace since it is the Falcon’s home. Of the suggestions above, the Delta Dome has a nice ring, if DAL will agree to sponsor the place.

Didn’t your taxpayers pay to have this dome built? If yes, why in the world would you agree to have a corporation “buy” the right to re-name it for chump change? Why not sell them (the corporation) the dome for enough money to pay off all the taxpayer-indebted bonds that still exist on it? For that matter, why not make a little profit on the sale and rebate it to the taxpayers?

What in the world does Coretta Scott King have to do with sports? There is already a King Center, and look what happened to that. If you want to name it after someONE, name it after me. I’ve done just as much for this city as anyone else. It’s a dome, it’s in Georgia, hence, the Georgia Dome. It doesn’t get much simpler than that. If a corporation buys it and wants to name it, then so be it. I don’t go there, I wouldn’t pay 50 cents to see the Falcons play (I don’t even allow them on my t.v.), I wouldn’t go downtown if you paid me because of all the panhandling (which was “outlawed”) and people vandalizing vehicles while we are vandalized by the football team and I don’t give a flying flip what they call it.

Please leave the name THE GEORGIA DOME OR change it to THE ARTHUR BLANK GEORGIA DOME, representing the state of Georgia, All those who don’t like the GA Dome, build your Dome and leave the true Atlanta Falcons Georgia Dome along.

I know that coporate sponsorship is a viable way to increase revenues. Many stadiums around the country have corporate sponsorship. Tust me, the name will not be determined by the people writing these messages. It will be determined by the corporation or entity who comes with the most cash. I dont see anything wrong with corporate sponsorship, it might even keep ticket prices from rising. The bottom line is, this is a good business move for the franchise. It’s just like the team trading your favorite player. The fans love him but trading him would be a good business move. Franchises are always looking for the best deal. Selling name rights is a great business move. I, just like others, would love to see the words “GEORGIA DOME” remain as part of the name. I say go for it and sell to the highest bidder. After all its not selling the team. Its generating more revenue.

They need to build a fish run so the fish from the aquarium can swim over to the dome so the audience can look at the fish swim by and be entertained since professional football is about as interesting as professional baseball or professional basketball (YAWM) and no facelift on the dome is going to increase interest in overpaid whiners whose employment is PLAYING A GAME CHILDREN PLAY

“Reality” must be a republican and a very uneducated and uninformed one at that. Jimmy Carter is an extremely intelligent man with an engineering degree from Georgia Tech and post-graduate work in the fields of nuclear physics and reactor technology. He gave up his desire to be Chief of Naval Operations and returned home to run and expand his families’ peanut farming business after the death of his father in 1953. Ignorant, peanut farmer was a ploy by Republicans to discredit an honorable and honest man and politician. Although I believe the name of the Georgia Dome should be left alone, to continue to represent the state of Georgia vs. a particular company or person, especially as the people of Georgia are who paid for the dome in form of bonds, if they wanted to name the dome after Jimmy Carter then kudos to the powers that be for recognizing someone with great determination and great character, traits a team should always have in spades!

The Kings Dome.. has a nice rang to it..

BUT

the Kings’ kids couldn’t even take care of their daddy’s legacy that was created by their mama.. The Kings Center…

So scratch that thought..

Since it a Fortune 500 company that would be bidding for the name right..they must include the wording of Atlanta dome after their corporation’s name..

ie..

Home Depot Atlanta Dome Lowes Atlanta Dome Delta Airlines Atlanta Dome Coca Cola Atlanta Dome Air Trans Atlanta Dome

catch my drift??

Corporate’s Name Atlanta Dome…

Personally I think it would be wise for the next stadium to take a cue from the Arionza Cardinals’ newest stadium that should set the standard for a football stadium!

We need more seats!! 100,000

it would be nice to have an outside stadium…

Keep the dome for the community.. demolishing wouldnt be right..

You know the name really doesn’t matter or it shouldn’t matter.

I have been to 6 Bowl games at the current “Georgia Dome” and the ones who operate stadiums such as “Alltel” in Jacksonville could teach classes in proper operation and treatment of paying customers. I am disabled and require assistance via wheelchair to get to my seat prior to the game and after the game. Every time I have been to Atlanta it has taken at least 10 people plus phone calls, walkie talkie conversations just to find out how to get me in and out of the stadium. Unbelievable and they are even kind about it! When visitors come to use your Sports Arena they drop bundles of cash you would think they could at least be treated with courtesy and kindness.

Work on that then worry about the name of the place!
