In summary, they have to be creative since the government does not cover the majority of the expenses.

iiinnnteresting......I'm assuming it will be Olympic sponsors.......very creative!

I was just amused that we went to see gymnastics in "Bercy Arena" when we all knew it was called Accor Arena

Keep in mind that the stadiums are the ones getting the sponsors. You will still not see sponsor logos during play… unlike the Paralympics.

The 1980 Olympics in Los Angeles didn't do this sort of thing and they actually wound up with money left over after the Games.

A ton of stuff is sponsored at the Olympics. I don't really see where this is a big deal.

but we might not see SoFi stadium named that......iiiiiiinteresting.....oh wait, it looks like they are already an LA2028 partner, so I bet it will stay the same....

When you were looking on google or apple maps for directions, you had to put in "Accor Arena" instead of the "Olympic named" Bercy Arena....but it was not labeled that during the Olympics

ooo just learned that the games are aiming to be fully privately funded.....innnteresting....

No more Canada Hockey Place type venues

I may be reading it wrong, but it sounds like they are selling names to temporary venues, not renaming existing venues.

LA28, the private entity tasked with organizing the Olympics in Los Angeles, revealed that it had gotten the seal of approval from the International Olympic Approval to sell naming rights to 19 temporary venues in the city.

Those worried about the naming rights for iconic venues like the Rose Bowl, LA Coliseum or Dodger Stadium being for sale can put those fears to rest. The naming rights for those stadiums will not be for sale, and the same goes for modern venues like SoFi Stadium and the Intuit Dome.

I'm just thinking what fun TV Shows like "Saturday Night Live" and "In Living Color" would have with the announcement.

This would be a good example
