Mr. Howler just came out with the news that there is going to be no more Nissan Pavillion. The concert venue out in Gainesville that backs up traffic for miles and miles will soon have a new name. The stock holders voted to rename the pavillion after its new naming rights sponsor, Jiffy Lube.
We have Fed Ex Field, the Verizon Center, the Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium, Wolftrap, the Merriweather Post Pavillion, and ….the Jiffy Lube Pavillion near Manassas. Arrggggghhhh. If only we weren’t already known for the Bobbitt incident, perhaps the Jiffy Lube Pavillion wouldn’t be quite as bad. but what does one say, I am going out to the Jiffy Lube for a concert? Maybe it can just be known as the JLP.
I doubt if many locals will be bragging about this new name. It just sort of adds insult to injury.
We’ll really start worrying if they had out discount coupons for coming back to “Jiffy Lube Live” in 3 months for the next routine visit!
Oops – should be “hand out discount coupons”.
Instead of cutting sports or the marching band – sell space on their uniforms
for ads like Nascar drivers!
Coached a youth soccer team years ago that was sponsored by a bail
bond company ( the name was on the back of their shirts). The 5-6
year olds didn’t mind – they just had fun.
