We rarely know what "really" happens in these deals.

GM could keep all the internal advertising at no/little cost until 2014 and figured it was worth giving up external sponsorship for the last few years.

Canucks probably game 'em an offer that they couldn't refuse to "request" out of the contract.

A telecom company can do a whole lot more with sponsorship that a car company can't... as BCPhil mentioned.

Robbers should be able to put up the dough for .com

As for the TV ads... the world cup ads are annoying. You have to pay quite a lot to get the games on your phone... almost as much as the data plan itself...

[LotusLand]

Would you pay $400 for this?? http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2010/08/c...a-granted.html

I'm sorta tempted, it looks good...but I don't have that kind of cashola

[Yume-sama]

You can't wear something like that once you're not an infant.

[djmk]

why spend so much money on an item of clothing that the child will outgrow before the end of the season?

[LeftCoaster]

Its not actually a child's sweater...

Its not really my cup of tea, but the style is pretty in right now. I'll admit it would be great on those cold wet January days.

LOL yeah its not a childrens sweater, $400 is outlandish for a kids sweater unless you're of course one of Angelina's 20 kids.

I like the style, the fact it's made in Vancouver and what not. But I don't have Yume money so I won't be getting. I prefer to eat instead

If anyone is wondering what Centre Ice will look like with Rogers Arena plastered on the ice here is a link: http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2010/08/w...ers-arena.html

Personally it's going to take a little getting used too

Wow, no matter who owns the Canucks they manage to come up with crap that is completely offensive to the eyeballs.

[Yume-sama]

I don't know what I dislike more, Rogers font, or the Canucks logo.

[wrenegade]

That is just plain awful.

[LotusLand]

Not much chatter on the Canucks side of things here. With the season starting tomorrow though you guys could use some inspiration!

Some nice-sounding upgrades to Rogers Arena - from the Globe:

Canucks Arena appeals to the senses

VANCOUVER— From Saturday's Globe and Mail

Vancouver Canucks chief operating officer Victor de Bonis says the NHL club has spent $40-million spicing up its home arena, and that the fan experience during the 2010-11 regular season will prove it is money well spent.

The Canucks rolled out some new bells and whistles in advance of their NHL home opener Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings at the newly minted Rogers Arena. Included among the new stimuli for the senses is blue-and-green lighting outside the building, which will mark Canucks’ game days, and inject some team colours to the Vancouver skyline.

The Canucks have erected eight large banners of star players inside the concourse near entrances, and will unveil two in-arena interactive exhibits on the team and its history. The team will also enhance its in-game presentation with 16 new projectors, eight 12-metre canvas scrims, and ice-level microphones designed to convey sounds of the game all the way to the bowl’s upper reaches.

“We want to deliver the best experiences as we can,” de Bonis said. “The goal is that everybody comes to games and feels like they’re getting value.”

The fan initiatives were announced Friday, in conjunction with the official unveiling of the new arena name.

Rogers Communications Inc. executives took part, and said that a new Canucks mobile app, with exclusive content for Rogers subscribers, should be available by November.

The existing Canucks-NHL app will continue to be free, while Rogers customers in British Columbia and Yukon will be able to stream live games on their mobile device for a fee. Rogers customers will also be able to see some practices, news conferences and others events inside the arena.

Hank!!!

The projection screens look pretty nice.

[eduardo88]

I'm really surprised with Torres, he's been playing really well tonight.

The goal was beautiful, what patience on Daniel's part.

[WarrenC12]

The Canucks showed a lot of skill last night. Looks good for the year. Luongo looked great after some shakey Octobers, and Ballard didn't look half as bad as he was made out to be. Just couldn't get that W.

[bulliver]

^ Same old story...too many penalties. Liking the addition of Torres so far, I was unsure about him, he was either hot or cold with Edmonton.

[Some guy]

I just have one thing to say:

LUOOOOOO!

[Some guy]

Nucks should collect a W with quite a few goals tonight. Lookin forward to it.

[usog]

So stomping Calgary aside, was it just me or was there more Go Canucks Go than Go Flames Go from the crowd in tonights game in Calgary? O_o

[Canadian Mind]

I heard the same over the radio this evening.
