Sports Authority Down, What to do Next?

[Rastic]

Who cares, everybody just calls it Mile High anyway. Do we really need a new thread on this topic every other week?

Every company who sticks their name on there goes bankrupt, I doubt anybody wants to now lol

Hmm, I must have missed last week's thread on this topic.

It's a community; people talk.

I might have exaggerated a bit...

There's still been a bunch of threads on it

Anyway, they'll eventually stick another company name on there who will be out of business in year, and we'll start the process over again.

It would be nice to go with a Denver (or anywhere in Colorado) headquartered company.

The 3 big name companies that I can think of that could work are Dish Network, Western Union, and Frontier Airlines.

With Dish Network, we'd likely have the same issue as we did with Sports Authority regarding having red signage plastered every where. Western Union would bring Yellow signage which isnt ideal either but better than red. Plus Western Union also has blue to go along with Yellow. Frontier Airlines would bring green signage, but I don't think color wise is an issue. Plus Frontier Airlines is probably more synonymous with Colorado than Dish and Western Union.

When you first started talking about Dish Network having the same problem as Sports Authority, I thought you were going to say they'd be bankrupt in 2 years.

Because with cord cutting becoming a real thing, all these horribly overpriced cable and satellite companies are going down.

We are fans we do nothing but watch haha

"Frontier Field at Mile High" has a nice ring to it.

I think all of those companies are on the verge of bankruptcy if we're being honest here... except maybe Western Union

Just cut Pappa Johns a deal and get it over with.

After Bowlen passes... we, the fans of Colorado, should purchase the Team and stadium. Have it be community owned like the Packers.

The NFL requires at least 1 owner of the group to have a minimum of 35% of the ownership stake. It's bylaws also prohibit any corporation, or not for profit entity (which community ownership would be) from owning a team. The Packers were grandfathered in.

And the stadium already is publicly owned.

How about the Isaiah Mckenzie field at Mile High? He seems to have as big of an impact as anything else.

[Hph5]

As far as I'm concerned, if the field is going to be named, it should be Mile High Field at Mile High Stadium.

I've always felt it should have been named something like Denver Mile High Stadium in honor of the people that paid most of the cost of building it. It's the one thing I really don't like what Pat Bowlen did.

I wonder if Frontier Airlines would have an issue with our secondaries nickname "No Fly Zone".....

What don't you like? They 6 county tax that paid for Coors Field did really well and paid off that stadium early and I believe the people voted to keep the tax until 2012 (the original plan) to pay for 75% of the new stadium. Seems like a good plan to me.

Western Union already has its team sponsorship money tied to the Denver Nuggets. Don't know if they have enough money to throw at Broncos as well.

I dunno... I'm still a big fan of the state of Colorado purchasing the team. Community Ownership. Put it in the taxes, have a tax rep and voting rights. Every CO taxpayer owns a piece of the team. I wish the Packer model was more prevalent.
