Default Etihad Stadium

A few months ago there was a lot of publicity about Melbourne's Telstra Dome changing its naming rights to..

ETIHAD Stadium

With the footy season about to get underway, I notice they still refer to it as Telstra Dome.

Did the sponsorship fall through??

Not to be confused with Telstra Stadium which is the Sydney 2000 Olympic site.

Can't wait for the footy to start...go the Crows!

From memory I think the new naming rights begin from March.

I am sure it takes affect at the official start of the AFL season. I can't remember if they had March 1 as the start day or the first game during Round 1.

Watch for some conflict here - The AFL aren't keen at all to call it Etihad stadium because Collingwood is sponsored by Emirates.

I think they both should go to hell and call it what its named

I think you'll find the conflict is less to do with Collingwood (although Collingwood have raised their concerns) and more to do with the fact that Qantas is the AFL's official airline.

The MCG is Collingwoods 'home' ground so there should be no issue, be like Ford carrying on because the AFL's major sponsor is Toyota, yet Ford sponsor Geelong.

AFL wasn't happy to Docklands management and demanded that they hand over all details of the deal with Etihad. They felt it compromised their deal with Qantas though how this compromises it more than Collingwood's deal with Emirates was not explained. Docklands management told AFL to "stuff-it" and name change will take place before start of premiership season.

AFL is a bit haphazard on who it allows as sponsors. Tiger Airlines was not allowed to sponsor Richmond due to Qantas sponsirship of AFL but Emirates was allowed to sponsor Collingwood. Likewise AFL did not allow SportsBet to sponsor RIchmond because of Tabcorp sponsorship but allowed Richmond to accept Luxbet.com
