In the grand tradition of Citi Field, Staples Center and Doritos Hail to the Cheese Colbert Report campaign, Brooklyn Bridge Park could soon have a corporate name. The gorgeous park — home to free movies, yoga classes, kayak outings and general good times — may sell naming rights to cover the estimated $16 million annual upkeep, reports NY1. The 85-acre park would be the first time even part of a New York City park carried a sponsor’s name (the idea came from Chicago’s Millennium Park, where sponsors pick up half the cost). Other options being considered to pick up the tab include building more high-rise condos. So we wondered: what name would you want to see on Brooklyn’s showpiece park? Some of our suggestions below:
The Brooklyn Brewery Hey At Least It’s Not Budweiser Bridge Park
The Grimaldi’s Place to Eat When You Call in A Take Out Order and Skip the Line Park
American Apparel presents: A Park, or Whatever
Barclay’s Brooklyn Bridge Park and Hip Hop Thunderdome
The Meat Hook presents Brooklyn Bridge Pork
