When Arthur Blank announced that the new sponsor for the team's new stadium in 2017 would be Mercedes-Benz, it came with a lot of excitement and a little bit of confusion.
While the excitement surrounding the new stadium is obvious, many fans wondered what would happen since there's another stadium sponsored by Mercedes-Benz.
That stadium, is the rival New Orleans Saints, who play in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Fortunately, Vaughn McClure of ESPN took to Twitter to give a bit of an explanation on the situation.
