NFL: Farmers Insurance will sponsor proposed LA stadium
Posted by Sabrina B. @gametimegirl If the NFL does return to a proposed stadium in downtown Los Angeles, the league’s newest venue will be called Farmers Field, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the deal. On Tuesday morning, AEG officials are set to announce they have reached a naming rights deal with Farmers Insurance worth $700 million over 30 years. The deal could potentially be worth more if the stadium were to attract more than one NFL team.
