Funny, I didn’t see the Sioux Falls City Council approving this naming right;
Smithfield Foods has naming rights for the Birdcage field as a part of its partnership with The Sioux Falls Canaries.
Not sure how you can announce such a partnership? Any city owned facility has to go thru a process for naming rights, which includes going in front of the naming board for pre-approval and then to the city council for final approval.
So if they are announcing a ‘potential’ sponsorship that would make sense, but nothing is inked yet.
Also, I thought the stadium was slated to be torn down, are we now going to save it? And how much is this ‘sponsorship’ going to cost us?
