ChiSox slurp up 7-Eleven start time

Wednesday, October 11, 2006

Chicago White Sox games will start, for the next three seasons, at 7:11 p.m., courtesy of 7-Eleven, the convenience store giant, which will pay the team an average of a half-million dollars a year to be the name behind the time, according to the NY TIMES.

"It's a fun way to insert our name into fans' hearts and minds," said Margaret Chabris, a 7-Eleven spokeswoman. "We think it's worth way more than $500,000." She said that 7-Eleven is talking to other baseball teams about sponsorship deals that would include starting their games at 7:11.
