Advertisements On SHS Ballfields

One potential stream of revenue that the Stoneham School Committee and Selectman are considering is placing more advertisements on athletic fields, courts and scoreboards. There is also a possibility that a company could swoop in and sponsor all of them (Gillette Field at Stoneham High, anyone)?

Personally, I'm not opposed to these ideas. I cringe as much as anyone when I hear "Minute Maid Field" and "Petco Park," but if Nike or Coca-Cola or Round's Hardware could pony up the capital to keep sports going at SHS long term, I think the accompanying advertisements would be a small sacrifice.
