The OR Arena Corp. and the Blazers announced a five-
year sponsorship deal with Coors, through the unveiling of
the new "Coors Rocks Portland" media totem located on the
main concourse of the Rose Garden. In addition to the media
totem advertising, plans call for the "Coors Rocks Portland"
message to be featured in print, radio and outdoor ads.
Coors joins Coca-Cola, Panasonic and Visa as totem sponsors.
