LA28 to break longstanding tradition with corporate venue names at Games
The LA28 Olympics have decided to allow corporate names on competition venues, marking a significant departure from the longstanding "clean venue" tradition. This move will enable Comcast and Honda to become the first-ever naming partners in Olympic and Paralympic history. The "clean venue" policy, typically enforced at major sporting events, requires the removal or covering of all non-official sponsor branding, including naming rights signage. This is done to protect the exclusivity of global partners who pay millions for official sponsorship status. However, the LA28 organizers have chosen to break this tradition, allowing corporations to have their names displayed on the competition venues during the Games. This decision represents a shift in the approach to venue sponsorship and the management of commercial rights at the Olympics.
