Many thanks to the following for their emails on the subject of naming rights: Steven Branca, Jonathan Clark, Scott Cook, Ernesto Cruz, Rohit Gupta, Rick Ho, Scott Ingram, Matt Kern, Steve Matuszek, John Monahan, Adam Richards, Sean Robbins, Dave Scossa, and Kelly Stellrecht.

Note: I did these pie charts including Target Field, not the Humptydome in Minneapolis. This was because I'd not envisaged putting this website online during the 2009 season. To be honest, I can't be bothered to change it and then change it back again in a few months time, but should you want the figures for the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome: nobody pays for the naming rights; it's a dome; it's got a non-retractable roof; and the architect was Skidmore, Owings and Merrill.
