Miller vs. Bud for stadium naming rights
Feb 11, 2007 In The News, Teh Funny
Miller Brewing Company has issued a challenge to Anheuser-Busch over temporary naming rights for a week in 2008, based on the finish of Miller Lite and Budweiser cars at the end of the 2007 NASCAR Nextel Cup season
Miller is putting the naming rights to Miller Park on the line for a weekend series between the Milwaukee Brewers and the St. Louis Cardinals in 2008. If the Miller Lite #2 car, driven by Kurt Busch, finishes ahead of the #8 Budweiser car, driven by Dale [Earnhardt, Jr.], in the 2007 season standings, Busch Stadium would be renamed Miller Lite Stadium for a yet-to-be-determined 2008 series in St. Louis.
If the Budweiser car finishes the season ahead of the Miller Lite car in 2007, Milwaukee’s Miller Park would be renamed Budweiser Park for a 2008 series in Milwaukee.
As of the Daytona 500 Bud Pole Qualifying broadcast this afternoon on FOX, Anheuser-Busch had not yet accepted the wager.
