PFSIKH Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 BOSTON -- Could the sports arena in downtown Boston, smack in the middle of Red Sox Nation, would be named after one of the hated New York Yankees? Maybe, for one day. Or maybe not. The FleetCenter hasn't decided. Jeter It's been selling one-day naming rights for charity while it tries to line up a new long-term naming deal. The winning bid for Tuesday's naming rights was made by a New York attorney. Kerry Konrad bid $2,300 on eBay. He wants the arena to be known as Derek Jeter Center, in honor of the Yankees' captain and shortstop. Not so fast, said FleetCenter spokesman Jim Delaney. Delaney said he told Konrad that his naming request might not be accepted. Konrad is a Harvard graduate with a 20-year rivalry with some of his Boston classmates. A decision could come today. The FleetCenter is the home of the NBA Celtics and NHL Bruins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faba Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 All the proceeds are supposed to go to charity so it would be lack of integrity and class and hurt needy people for them not to accept Derek Jeter Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Division Marduk Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 I heard they did a deal to give extra money to charity, if he'd ad agree not to name it after Jeter. Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
