If you read the deal with Quebec they have a deal in place where the naming rights basically double if they get an NHL team
I'm wondering if True North also has that deal in place. MTS will get a lot more exposure if the NHL comes back
Does anyone know how much the MTS pays for the naming rights

right now it's 7 mil over 10 years Without NHL team. The deal will change big time when NHL returns... Maybe even a bidding war at the end of ten years... Reuters Arena ?

it'll probably double. There's no way it'll stay the same with an NHL team. I'm sure it's been negotiated.

I am sure there would be an out clause if the NHL came back.

Just more reasons for advertising. I know it's worth a lot of money to arena owners to sponsor out their buildings, but I seriously miss the days when arenas and stadiums were named for the cities they were located in, or after a local historical figure.
Long may we remember the days of "Winnipeg Arena" and "Winnipeg Stadium". I shiver at the thought of lame-name sponsors winning the right to name out arena because of the size of their wallets. Just look at the senseless arena names throughout the league already:
TD Ameritrade Center (What's Toronto Dominion doing naming an arena in Boston, anyways?) jobing.com Arena (OK, that one's obvious) Pepsi Center (sellout central!) etc, etc, etc.
Long live arena names like "Joe Louis Arena", and may one day our arena have the privilege of not being named to the highest bidder's liking.
How about "Mark Chipman Arena"... lol, anything but sponsorship-ruled naming.
Just my humble, yet severely staunch opinion. Think of it what you will...

At least in our case, MTS is a homegrown company.

Look for it to be called "Shaw Centre", MTS's biggest rival.

Would be great if it were Labatt's, just to get back at the NHL.

Does this really help the team make money though?Wouldnt you want someones other buisness to pay for ones cost of owning a team.Almost everyone knows what Reuters is,so I wouldnt see a need to advertise.Does Thomson just write a cheque to himself if he did that? ;D
