Invesco Funds Dry Up

Too much of anything makes you an addict...

It looks like the Invesco Field Era is coming to a close today with the corporate mucky money grubber title being replaced by Sports Authority sporting goods name. Colorado now has Dick's Sporting Goods Park and Sports Authority Field. No word if Big 5 will be the title sponsor at the local skate park.

Does anyone really care what the Donkey stadium is called though? I give some dap to Sports Authority being a Colorado company and tracing their roots to old Colorado sporting good stalwarts Dave Cook and Gart Brothers.

The field was Invesco for nearly a decade and what is the enduring image or memory of it? Ed McCaffery's leg dangling from his hip? The lone playoff game it hosted as Champ Bailey picked Tom Brady? The following week's debacle against Pittsburgh? The horrrendous loss to the Raiders last year?

Unfortunately for Bronco glory, the name Invesco Field reminds us mainly of a Senator Barrack Obama accepting the nomination a few years back. (Shout to Slim Thug who actualy worked it into a song, Scarface's "Forgot About Me" where he spits I get crunk like Obama at Invesco.)Not exactly sporting glory there. But like Obama in 2008, maybe Sports Authority Field should invoke a similar catchphrase for the Bronco future: Hope.
