Saw this article today about BofA naming a new sports marketing director. Could impact us. No mention of us in the article.

Um, I didnā€™t see much in the article that would suggest we have a shot at BoA being a NAMING rights level partner for us. Looks like they promoted their baseball sponsorship guy to get a leg up on renegotiating the MLB contract to me.

In other BizJournal News:

Charlotte Law School doubles in size to 800 students, so kiss a UNC Charlotte School of Law goodbye! Canā€™t wait till CMC and Presby get tired of Chapel Hillā€™s shell game and Duboisā€™s ā€œslow-roadā€ method and open their own Medical School.

I could see them being a sponsor, but not at a high level. They already have a partnership with the University in some areas but not sure about Athletics. Maybe an ā€˜official bank ofā€™ sponsorship but I would be surprised if it was naming rights on the stadium/concourses etc.

Isnā€™t RBC the official bank of the Niners?

Yes, they are. Thanks to them, we were able to replace the old lite-brite scoreboard.

I still donā€™t get that one. Where is the nearest RBC branch?

Across Harris Blvd., at the Promenade.

Also it helps that the key contact for the bank is a Charlotte grad who thinks that itā€™s important for his employer to be involved with his alma mater. Cool, huh?

Got ya. Didnā€™t realize there was an RBC thereā€¦ Iā€™d never noticed any RBC branches west of Raleigh.

there is an RBC in Clemmons, NC.

Knowing little about marketing, I would say itā€™s a good move on their part, right in the middle of BofA country.

There are three branches in Charlotte plus an atm on campus:

One in Monroe.

Thereā€™s an RBC in Winston-Salem as well.

At least 1 if not more in Gastonia.

RBC=Royal Bank of Charlotte? :stuck_out_tongue:
