Optics. Take the loot. LOVE the loot. Just don't be seen associating with it.

Probably not allowed by Bank of America, which cannot be seen to be endorsing one party over the other.

They're hosting their convention at the new "Black Panthers Stadium?"

Do "The New Black Panthers" provide security for the event?

A recent email from the host committee signed by former Al Gore campaign manager Donna Brazile urged people to win a trip to Charlotte for the event

I think I see how they plan to fill the seats in the stadium. There was an article yesterday in which the Obama team promised that the stadium would be filled on Thursday night when Obama speaks.

Breaking!!!!...early pics of the Obama delegates/supporters arriving for early seating. By all indications Obama will blow the capacity crowd away...

Note: none of the supporters were available for comment.

Wonder if the NFL has anything to say about copyright infringement.

I know you can't use the term "Super Bowl" without permission.

Panthers stadium. I figured they would pull that to avoid the BOFA label. Should be fun to watch the convention site on Fox rightfully referred to as Bank of America Stadium while MSNBC cooperates with the DNC mislabeling it as Panthers Stadium.

Sorry to be crass but this is such bullshhhht. If the media complies and calls it Panther Stadium instead of it’s real name I gonna be a little aggravated.

I’m sure the two panther sculptures flanking the main entrance make certain attendees feel right at home. They’re black panthers.

This sort of thing happens all the time -- to the point that I would question the judgement of any corporation that pays a small fortune to have "naming rights" for a sports venue.

Some years ago the NCAA Final Four was held in New Jersey at the Continental Airlines Arena. A competing airline company (I believe it was American Airlines) was "the official airline of the NCAA Final Four" that year, so American Airlines, the NCAA and the TV network that was broadcasting the games had to come up with a set of protocols for protecting their "investment" in the Final Four. If I remember correctly, there was no mention of the Continental Airlines Arena in any NCAA materials or the television broadcasts.

Just a quick note the Panther emblem of the team is not the type of panther once found in the area which looks like a mountain lion. Rather it is a black panther not native to this country. Since this change to the stadium is new I suppose it is really the New Black Panther Stadium.

This whole stadium name debacle is so typical of Democrats and their liberal mentality. It’s a microcosm of this entire campaign and the 0bama admin as a whole.

Deny the truth... call it something else.... and pretend it was fact all along. All the while, worrying more about how things look, than how they really are or actually doing something about it.

Hey, I’ve got an idea! The DNC could pay naming rights to rename “Bank of America Stadium” to “Panthers Stadium”. BOA gets its money back, the Panthers get some new naming rights money, the fans get their stadium name back to what it ought to be anyway, and the DimRats don’t have to refer to the name of an evil bank when discussing their convention. Sounds like one of those classic win-win situations to me!

Durbin to Bank of America Customers: ‘Get the Heck Out of That Bank’

Holding up a plastic debit card on the Senate floor this afternoon, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., had some advice for Bank of America customers angry about the new $5 monthly fee: leave.

Turban Durbin is known around his state of Illinois as:

“FIVE DOLLAR DICK”

During the last election for Senator there was a billboard up on the expressway which read:

“DICK DICK BEFORE HE DICKS YOU!”

Hey Dick. “Get the hell out of that bank”

Amusing.

Is Panther’s Stadium anywhere near John Kerry’s “Lambert Field”?

Bank of America, as the largest (or one of the largest) corporation headquartered in Charlotte, probably had a lot to do with the 'Rats choosing Charlotte as their convention location.

IIRC, their top execs had been giving predominantly to 'Rat candidates in recent election cycles, but may now be leaning more toward the GOP in their largesse. That would be typical of large firms in the financial and banking industry.

That's probably the underlying reason for the official Democratic snub in the mention of the stadium's name.

I still haven’t heard. Did they actually cover the B of A sign?
