Marijuana dispensary wants Mile High naming rights

The Denver Broncos currently play at Sports Authority Field at Mile High, but when Sports Authority filed for bankruptcy last month, the Broncos began hearing from other companies that wanted to purchase the naming rights. And now a new candidate has emerged a company representing an industry that has never previously been involved in stadium naming rights: Marijuana.

Native Roots, a legal marijuana dispensary with 14 stores in Colorado, says it has the money to take over the $6 million a year Sports Authority is currently paying, and the interest to make a competitive bid to rename the Broncos’ home Native Roots Field at Mile High.

“We’re a cannabis company and no one had ever done anything like this in the cannabis sector,” said Rhett Jordan, a founding partner of the company, in an interview with Channel 7 News in Denver.

Sports Authority could still keep the naming rights if it is able to come up with a suitable bankruptcy plan, so it’s possible that the Broncos won’t be looking for a new sponsor. It’s also possible that if they do re-open the bidding, some other company could out-bid Native Roots. And it’s possible that the NFL and the Broncos will simply decide that they’re not ready to do business with a marijuana company, even if it’s perfectly legal in Colorado.

All of which means it’s unlikely the team will actually play at Native Roots Field. But it’s an interesting idea, one that is already getting plenty of attention for Native Roots.

“Cheech and Chong Field.”

We have Busch Stadium, Coors Field, Miller Field, and nobody cares.

There is still a Federal Law that says Marijuana is illegal. Beer is legal all across the U.S. for those of legal age. That’s the difference.

All of the food stands would definitely benefit
 
Smart publicity stunt in a very competitive business......he will get plenty of attention if he plays this right.

Yeah. It is a good publicity play.
Never in a million years will an NFL team be directly associated with a marijuana production company though.
 
You watch your step. Soon enough we'll all unite and take over the world.
After we eat copious amount of bacon pizza and marathon watch Pee Wee's Playhouse of course.
Lmao! But I don't like pee wee's playhouse.... Will watching how high or cheech and Chong suffice? Lol

Oh The pot heads are taking over the couch! Soon the world! :rolleyes:
 
14 stores , and you can afford the $6 Million a year naming rights

Might not be a bad business :shades:

I would tend to believe it's purely a company using free media attention with no intent to actually buy the naming rights.

You know I used to think that about marijuana users, but I have a different mind set now a days. My wife has Fibromyalgia, and Rheumatoid Arthritis. She used to take about 6-10 hydrocodone pills a day, and still in be in a lot of pain. Since, she's been doing medical marijuana she has dropped using hydrocodone pills to 4-6 a WEEK. The pain isn't so harsh as it used to be, and Hydrocodone has more severe side effects if anything. That's my personal opinion....

I get daily migraines (that stretch days or weeks) and wanted to try it for a long time, but because of asthma and VA rules for a long time, it was a no go. Now, with edibles and laws changing, it's getting closer. In Florida, it's nearly impossible to get and it's supposed to be pretty crappy stuff. It's gonna be on the ballot again this year and I hope it passes.

I know too many vets who got addicted and then lost everything to oxy- and hydrocodone.
