I dont understand why people dont see this as a positive news item.. (I dont want to offend anyone in saying so though).

Having a stadium named after your product/company is a pretty standard form of advertising. Dont you guys watch any sport?? even when my brother was playing under 16 inline hockey, their rink was named after a sponsor.

They exagerate in the "about Amiga" section of their press releases, but thats what you do in a PR.

Are you guys upset at Amiga advertising their name when they dont yet have any major products? I think I can see where you're coming from if thats the case. The stadium is a year away from completion if I read correctly, so that gives them time to get a product to market..

If we just ignore that this has anything to do with Amiga Inc, dont you think the following is quite cool??

The facility will have the capacity to bring technologic advancements that will alter the fan experience by dramatically enhancing the interaction between a visitor and the sport or event. For example the "Amiga Center at Kent" will have the technology in place allowing event-goers to watch instant replays on a handheld device and to order, pay for and have food delivered using only a cell phone. If this technology is implemented, Thunderbirds' fans will be able to enjoy a closer connection with the game and its players by accessing real-time statistical updates and engaging in digital interactions with players. In addition, Amiga technology could streamline ticket sales for all "Amiga Center at Kent" events.


Btw, the site looks fine to me too. I dont understand people that are overly critical of web sites.

P.S. I'm not trying to attack anyone, just trying to see where you're coming from.
