From what I understand, OnGoal's long term plan is to add other sports in addition to soccer.

So the Sporting moniker may yet be an accurate descriptor.

The team logo doesn't have gradients. Only the "web version" of the logo is given that look. So, here is the standard logo without the gradients...

The "SC" is for Sporting Club.

It would be pretty cool if they donated a portion of every ticket sold at the stadium to the foundation.  That would be a neat idea.

And actually, it looks like that could happen:

Good way to get press, and a great concept for large scale entertainment venues.

According to team's official Twitter feed, part of the proceeds from games and events at the stadium will be donated to local cancer research.
Looks like the team is already getting a ton of great pub from this.

Too bad about the delays.  They are losing some viewers on the webcast due to "weather."  The delay now is up to 40+ minutes. 

Depending on how exactly it is crafted, though, the concept could get international recognition eventually.  I've not heard of such a commitment to a charity before from a sports organization.

Starting now, actually...

I don't think they could have done any better than this. Who cares about the name of the park, if every team could go out and do something like this, everyone would be a lot better off. Hopefully this starts a trend.

Also, Bobby your link needs to be fixed. You forgot the "g" in Livestrong. :)

Just think about it. They are donating money to charity to have a name on their stadium. They have also said that the entire property is smoke and tobacco free. How many owners around the world would actually consider a deal like this? I am sure on some level the team did this to get more positive publicity and media attention but even if that is true, IMO it doesn't matter because they are still doing it.

Also, in January the team held a snowball fight. Professional athletes out there competing with fans. How many other teams would sponsor such an event? Talk about endearing yourselves to your community.

This is how a team gets loyal fans. Obviously playing well and winning on the field is a part of it but if they can keep doing things like this they will gain several more loyal fans even during the tough times on the field.

SKC has invited Chad Ochocinco to try out. This could be entertaining!
