Bid early and bid often. This one is going to be huge!

If a soccer stadium that gets probably 30 people a year in it can get $25 million, naming rights to this plant should be 10 times that easy.
That's horrible!!!

I think that's ska's posting, so the "nobody even watches" soccer is certainly tongue-in-cheek. 🙂

At less than 1/1,000,000 of the cost of naming Pizza Hut Park, this auction is still a great deal.

And yes, I would accept a name with "Loyalists" in it, as long as it was related to the RSL ones and not the Irish ones.


P.S. Petition the President on FEMA - Call the White House and leave a comment at 202-456-1111 or email . Stoughton has one shot to appeal the administration's first FEMA aid rejection - please ask the President to reconsider his earlier denial, especially if you voted for him.

If I were going to bid on it, which I'm not, (because I spend all my cash on Redman chew, Bud Light, and a John Deere hat (but that's neither here or there)) I would name it Arthur (any one here read Mad Magazine?)
