All HAL stadiums bar one have a naming rights sponsor. Apparently it's not a hard sell.

But all them grounds share NRL and AFL teams except Coopers and Glorys home ground which has no name sponsor anymore. To attract a decent sponsor they will need NRL back at the ground more then 2 games a year like they have. No NRL No sponsor.

Yes it does. It's called HBF park.

AU don't share Hindmarsh and the stadium management have been able to attract Coopers into sponsoring the stadium.

This from the Supporters Facebook page:-

Just some stats for everybody, we have had a poll running for the last few days as a way to gauge where everyone is coming from to support The Bulls.
As it stands 165 people have voted 
34% have moved over from Western Sydney Wanderers 
30% are new supporters to Hyundai A-League
27% coming from Sydney FC
3% are converting from NRL 
And the remaining 6% are from other A-league teams.
It’s very exciting to see a whole 30% of respondents are new to the sport.

The NRL is only played there a few times a year. 

The A-League will be far more than that, giving far more value for a sponsor to invest in the naming rights.

Or Macarthur Park!

Macarthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, nooooo

Yeah the AFC wouldn't let us sell tickets for the hill areas for our ACL game against Persija Jakarta or the Asian Cup games either. Missed out on other events before as well because of them so I'll be happy when the ends finally get seated.

It's a long way off from when Macarthur will need to worry about that but good to get planning early.
