Goodbye Etihad

[Bruce G McAbee]

Etihad to be renamed Marvel Stadium in huge deal with Disney.

[fugazi]

Seriously?

[Toy Saint]

Marvelous

[shrodes]

Come one, come all and Marvel at the Saints' poor skills at the all-new Marvel Stadium!

[stonecold]

Might enable us to get some 'Superhero' recruits!!!!!

[Superboot]

Seriously ridiculous name

[Linton Lodger]

I call it the Docklands.

[parkeysainter]

Lol. The joint will be littered with Avengers paraphernalia in no time.

Serious question: do the Saints get anymore $ out of this for the next 8 years? I'm assuming we will get more as we are a host club. Anyone know?

Believe all clubs have renegotiated deals after the AFL bought Etihad, not sure there was any specific numbers released though.

[Winmar7]

The ends will be renamed 'Iron Man' and 'Hulk'
The centre square will now be known as the 'web' in honour of Spiderman
The benches will be the 'Daredevil' interchanges
At every centre bounce Thor will appear on the screen punching the ground
And the goalposts will be painted silver like Wolverine's adamantium spikes!

[Bruce G McAbee]

Maybe we can get a sponsorship deal from Stark Industries
Disney though would be a coll sponsor of the club. After all, us winning a premiership rigjt now is a bit of a fairytale.

Disney Dome would’ve been a better name

[bobmurray]

Disney Dome would’ve been a better name

I'd have called it Neverland, apt for our flag chances with the current setup at the Saints.

[evertonfc]

Honest to God, have you seen what these guys said today?

They said they’re not going to tinker with the sport (well thank goodness for that...)

But that they’re going to provide an “immersive technological experience”.

Guys, the beauty of footy is about to get mauled by these corporate clowns.

[Tommyj]

Seriously ridiculous name

At least marvel has a meaning

You still can. Never Never Land has that Peter Pan ring to it.

[saintspremiers]

Seriously ridiculous name

At least it’s not linked to an Islamic republic that doesn’t respect women

[Goose is king]

I think it provides an opportunity to enhance the game day experience and grow crowds. Especially for the kids. Game day has been boring for years now and it would be easier to get little jack and Jill to the game. Superhero/saints merchandise. Etc

[Bruce G McAbee]

I imagine if Waverley was still around and they did a deal with Disney it would be called The Frozen Dome.

[the dome]

etihad was always a lame name.
I couldn't bring myself to utter it. Commercial baloney.
Marvel or Disney Dome or just about anything is better than eti.
I'm not switching away from 'the Dome' just yet.

[The Recruit]

Great change
Match days are so boring...especially now the games have been so bad

[Enrico_Misso]

Another Americanisation.
Next they will be selling popcorn and bombarding us with loud music, innane shrieking announcers, kiss-cam ...

Just call it bloody Docklands.

[parkeysainter]

Lol. No more Jihad Stadium!

[mr six o'clock]

The justice league will take over security.
So look out
If you are dragged in front of Mickey , you may be found days later floating in the yarra .

Let it go.
