Defunct Agreements

The following chart lists 31 major league and minor league naming rights agreements that expired, are no longer in force, were terminated or were announced but never implemented for one reason or another. For ease in organization, we are calling them defunct deals despite their diverse backgrounds.

The figures provided for term and total value are based upon publicly reported figures. It is entirely possible that various sources reported different figures for both term and total value.

Another point to remember is that naming rights agreements are comprised of many different elements and can not only be priced, but also reported on, in many different ways. For example, on the major league level, the deal for Citizens Bank Park has been noted as a $95 million arrangement or as two separate agreements for $57.5 million and $37.5 million by various media outlets. The exact determination of what is "right" is up to the individual.

As such, the figures below are only for illustration purposes. Additional verified information is always welcome.
