Are we specifically thinking the naming rights will be exclusive to the Asper Group, or is it possible other parties will try to secure the naming rights!

as far as I know, CanadInns has the naming rights contract for like 20 years or something. I might be wrong and I guess in theory, Asper could buy the naming rights from CanadInns. I wouldn't be too surprised to see the stadium keep the name. That's some of CanadInns best advertising space. If I were them, I wouldn't want to give it up.
Edit: Found this
Team: Winnipeg Blue Bombers Principal Owner: Lyle Bauer Team Website
Stadium: Canada Inns Stadium Date Built: 1953
NAMING RIGHTS: Canada Inns has a 10-year, $1.750 M naming rights deal for the home of the Blue Bombers.
I cant remember the exact year they changed the name. but it was probably about 5 years ago now.

The Human RIghts Isreal Asper Memorial Canadian Footbal League Stadium in Winnipeg,,O.K. no need for a another name like that airport renaming stupidity......
Just call it Izzy's Global Park.......or just IZZY
Plus the hotel may be a Canad inn's so it makes sense that they keep the name..
K- so i will edit this again.....
I think Asper's plan did not have a hotel in it.But i would not be surprised if one was built on the site somewhere......

I personally don't like Business Names on Sports Stadiums, some disaster names, Jobing.com Arena.........................uuuh, well that's the worst, if we could just name it something unique there are lots of possibilities.

Canad Inns Stadium sounds very regional. Plus, Asper wants the Stadium itself to be a major advertising opportunity...if you were a competitor to Canad would you buy space on a Stadium with your competitors name on it?
A grander name..and one fitting with the proposal would be CanWest Stadium. But it's make more sense to just sell naming rights to the highest bidder.
