Bulls and Bears - Tom Mayenknecht: The BC Place naming rights file: Astonishing in both substance and style
http://thesportmarket.blogspot.com/2012/03/bc-place-naming-rights-file-astonishing.html
Saturday, March 10, 2012. The BC Place naming rights file: Astonishing in both substance and style. The BC Government's decision to cancel the $40 million naming rights deal that would have re-branded the newly-renovated BC Place as TELUS Park is astonishing to me at several levels. This is a train-wreck of a political decision that is shocking both in substance and style. That's substance issue #1; claiming that there exists a strong grassroots attachment to the 29-year-old name. The Sport Market ha...

Friday, June 24, 2011. Rory McIlroy: Transforming the Tours. Rebranding Golf. It's nice that people say that he could be this or he could be that or he could win 20 major championships, but at the end of the day I've won one.". 2011 US Open winner Rory McIlroy. When a 22-year-old wins the US Open the way McIlroy did last weekend, the sports world takes notice.

Saturday, December 13, 2014. Pat Quinn Way or Pat Quinn Arena: The Case for Both. The legacy of Pat Quinn reaches far and wide, but no community was more impacted by the Big Irishman's hockey acumen and leadership than Vancouver. The fact he lived in West Vancouver and is well-known for his time with the Vancouver Canucks supports the notion of civic recognition in Vancouver. My recent piece in The Vancouver Sun argued that Quinn's contributions were big enough to merit more than one form of recognition:.

Sunday, February 5, 2012. The Gold Standard of Television Engagement. There are a converted touchdown's worth of reasons whty the National Football League has become the gold standard of television engagement as measured by ratings. Yet the NFL is TV gold for myriad other reasons as well. It avoids audience burnout by staging a compact, four-month regular season of 16 games with an efficient, five-week playoff tournament leading to the big payoff known as Super Bowl.

http://thesportmarket.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 28, 2010. Halak puts an exclamation mark on one of the best opening rounds in Stanley Cup history. The opening round of the National Hockey League's 2010 Stanley Cup championships produced a series of notable storylines, including:. With a total of 49 games in the first round (the most since 1995) and 12 of them overtime results (the most since 2001).
