According to Sports Journal, Mercedes-Benz will be putting their name on another stadium. But maybe they should have done some research about the team they will be lending their name to.
The German-luxury automaker is expected to sign a contract to put its name on the Atlanta Falcons’ new stadium that is set to open in 2017. An announcement is set to be made on Monday at the $1.4 billion stadium’s construction site.
Having the Mercedes-Benz name on Atlanta’s stadium creates an odd situation. The New Orleans Saints, who are the Falcons NFC South rival, have had the automaker’s name on the stadium since 2011.
