What's next. Bob going to get a sponsor to be the official caterer to the New England Patriots so he doesnt need to pay for meals?

I am pretty sure a company wanting to sponsor the training facility of an NFL team is very normal lol. I just saw a story a few weeks ago about how the Eagles' training complex sponsor was changing hands. That cheapo Jeffrey Lurie...

Surprised they didn't add the tagline: A Domestic Value of Over 70%!

Yes. For instance the Cowboys facility is called the Ford (car) Center.

At least it's a local company, or was....NB could be property of some PE firm for all I know...but I do remember my father taking me to the NB outlet (I think in Brighton) to get me cheap NB sneakers as a kid in the early/mid 80s...Bill Rogers was the big athlete endorser for NB back then!

I don't disagree I was just looking to take the low hanging fruit

Eagles facility was NovaCare for longest time and is now Jefferson Health, one of the two largest health networks here.
Eagles rename South Philadelphia practice facility to Jefferson Health Training Complex

The title of this thread began with such promise.

Slow news day, huh?

Going to be slow news until the draft, honestly..

It’s a nice facility. Imagine Patriots Place, only in a town which is conveniently located and easy to get to.

I'm glad they got the training facility done. Now deal with the plane.

Watching the BC/Maine hockey game on TV Friday night.....

"Boston Children's Museum, the official children's museum of Hockey East"

Made me chuckle

I have not seen anyone wearing New Balance shoes in quite a long time. Is it a brand that will appeal to 20-somethings? My impression is that Nike and a few other brands left "Newbies" in the dust a long time ago.

New Balance also sponsors the Celtics and Bruins practice facilities which is actually in their headquarters (right on the Pike in Brighton)

They're doing ok for themselves.
