    Pelicans {Smoothie King} - Lauscha hints that arena naming rights to be done by All-Star game

    In pre-game and then rebroadcast at halftime on the radio broadcast, Sean Kelly interviewed Pels president Dennis Lauscha who strongly hinted that a naming rights partner would be announced before the All-Star game.
    A football game can't stop hurricanes.

    It can't fix levees.

    Or rebuild houses.

    But it can let a city know...

    That it's a city once again.

    Welcome back, New Orleans.

    I don't know but I just told my husband I'm hoping it's not Louisiana Seafood Zatarain's Fried Shrimp Arena.

    I still want my arena to be "seasoned" by Zatarans.

    I told my brother they were talking about naming rights last night. He said what are they going to call it, the Pelicans Nest? I said no, a corporate name like Capital One Arena or Capital One Center. It kind of makes sense.

    Well, we now know that it will be SOON seeing as they said to be done by ASG.

    Capital One, Entergy, and Chevron have been big sponsors in the past.

    How much money would the team make from naming rights like that? I know that Capital One has a suite for the Pelicans games, sat up there before it was pretty nice.

    Pelicans Naming Rights to NO Arena

    Recent reports have a naming rights deal to be signed for the arena in the next few weeks. Any guesses to which company might pony up some serious $$$$s to have the arena named after them??

    The usual companies come to mind:
    Capital One, Whitney, or another bank
    Entergy
    Chevron
    Perhaps a car company
    Airline (Maybe Southwest)
    Cox
    Century Link might be a dark horse, they are based in Monroe and are currently have the naming rights for the Seahawks in the NFL
    Something off the wall like Twitter or LinkedIN

    Please refrain from ridiculous guesses such as Boudreaux's Butt Paste or PawPaws Camper City.

    I saw someone post that it was not a local or regional company (on another site I think).

    If you consider the $$$ Chevron has to be up there.
