The name change from Dolphin Stadium is the fifth since the stadium opened in 1987. Buffett's Margaritaville enterprise includes Landshark Lager, brewed by Anheuser-Busch. Buffett and new Dolphins owner Stephen Ross are friends. They plan to unveil a new logo for the stadium at a private event Friday, where Buffett will perform a song inspired by the Dolphins. The stadium, which has lacked a corporate sponsor for several years, will be the site of the Super Bowl for the fifth time in February. It's the home for the Dolphins, Miami Hurricanes and Florida Marlins.
I thought it was a joke when I first read it, but it's actually very very real. Loving it. Bill Parcells is the best thing to happen to this franchise in decades. Jersey colors next please, orange on white.
so the teal fish just got gayer??? they are dolphins, not sharks. So now they are two different types of sea creature. this team really is going backwards since the Shula days.
i own season tix to the dolphins...im a jets fan n the price here is nutin compared to u jets season tix holders...so i bought them wit a friend of mine since we get pro bowl tix nwe entered to get super bowl tix thru a drawing....this is such a stupid name change..the funny is they r talkin bout nicknaming it the shark tank or sumtin lame like that...the shitty part is that the deal is only until the end of the season n will change before the pro bowl/super bowl...
Wait, you're telling me you are a Jet fan, but got season tickets for the Dolphin just to get tickets to the Probowl? hmy: :finssuck:
rofl, wow. just when you think you cant respect a franchise at all, they go and lower their standards. rofl wow.......thats awesome. what a historic joke
OK, actually since yesterday it's gotten less temporary, and more weird. http://boards.sportslogos.net/index.php?showtopic=66750&view=findpost&p=1158922
I like it. Landshark is a great beer and Jimmy Buffet is a minority owner of the Dolphins. At the very least it's less of a random corporate sponsorship because it has some connection to the area and team.
It's only the name of a beer that Jimmy Buffett sells. I find it hilarious how some fans make such a stupid / idiotic case over something as insignificant / trivial as this....
pretty much..i bought season tix wit my friend a dolphins fan...we spent $420 each for the season for row 4 upper deck corner seats....i get to c the jets, pats, bills, colts, steelers, texans, saints,n panthers, then i can 1st dibs on pro bowl n possibly super bowl tickets...meanin i can re sell them n actually get the season tix for a cheaper net price...i dont think its that bad an investment...if it was nething like u guys would be payin in up north id have no chance but 420 isnt too horrible of a aprice
The people who think this is a good idea, are you old enough to remember the Land Shark skit from SNL?
