    A's Verizon Coliseum?

    Verizon on stadium horizon

    Phone giant Verizon Wireless is in the final stages of a five-year, multimillion-dollar naming rights deal for the A's and Raiders' home field.

    Reliable sources tell us the exact terms and amounts would be announced if and when the deal is finalized, maybe sometime this week. The massive Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum has been without a corporate name since a 10-year deal with McAfee Inc. (previously known as Network Associates) ran out in 2007.

    Verizon spokeswoman Heidi Flato said, "I'm afraid we are going to have to decline to comment for now."
    Hmmmm, the money would certainly help until the A's can get a new stadium. Obviously, some of that money would be going to the Raiders as well, but still. It's better than being without a corporate name sponsorship like they have been since the end of 2007.

    The deal will be finalized as soon as the Verizon guy stops having to yell "Can you hear me now?" with old Al Davis on the receiving end.
