Oracle buys naming rights to San Francisco Giants' waterfront ballpark



The tallest building in San Francisco may be named for Salesforce.com Inc., but arch-rival Oracle Corp. will have its name on the crown jewel of the city’s downtown: the Giants’ waterfront baseball stadium.

AT&T Park will be renamed Oracle Park, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Wednesday night. The team is expected to announce a 20-year naming-rights deal with the software company Thursday.

The Chronicle estimated the deal to be worth between $300 million and $350 million, a huge leap from the $100 million naming-rights deal that was in place. Bloomberg News reported the deal to be worth “more than $200 million.”

Having a sportball stadium name in the Bay Area is really important to Oracle for some reason, it seems.
