Pink Taco Stadium? Wouldn't it Clash? Colorful Cardinals Stadium Controversy.

Monday August 21, 2006
I just heard that an offer has been made by the Pink Taco folks to the tune of $30 million for 10 years and that they are in "hot pink" pursuit of an agreement with the Arizona Cardinals to assume sponsorship of the new stadium. The Morton family, famous for creating the Hard Rock Café and Morton's Steakhouse, is behind this latest news. Apparently The Pink Taco restaurant is not a newcomer to publicity or controversy. The restaurant, who some believe is named after a slang term for a certain part of the female anatomy, caused a bit of a stir in Scottsdale when Mayor Mary Manross objected to the restaurant's opening in Scottsdale's Waterfront project. And, this coming from a town where porn star Jenna Jamison owns a "gentlmen's club?" If you ask my opinion, pink would clash horribly with all the red decor in the new stadium. See our photos of the Cardinals Stadium from this weekend.

Oh My G**! That’d be so awesome if they named it The Pink Taco Stadium. Come on, it’d be such a trade mark. Cardinals aren’t that ood anyways, no offense to the team or fans but come on. You’d never forget the name of Pink Taco Stadium. I’m so looking forward to see if it goes thru to plan.

But what about all those red seats… red molded plastic. They would clash!! Personally, I like something a bit quirky and agree with you… but the color. Hmmmmm.
