5A -Naming Rights

In recent years, the sale of naming-rights deals has skyrocketed in value. The team gets the money, even though the public paid for the stadium. Examples include:

• In 1998, PSINet agreed to pay $105.5 million over 20 years for the right to name the Baltimore Ravens' new stadium.

• In 1999, Federal Express signed a $205 million, 27-year deal for naming rights to the Washington Redskins' new stadium.

• to pay an estimated $300 million over 32 years for the naming rights for a sports and convention complex that includes a new stadium for the Houston Texans, the NFL's newest expansion team.

• Also in 2000, the Enron Corp. agreed to a $100 million, 30-year deal for the naming rights to the Houston Astros' new ballpark.
