Have you heard of "Climate Pledge Arena" in Seattle? Home of the WNBA team.
Nothing blocks the effects of Climate Change like the naming rights to a lot of cement and mortar that could be used to plant trees and green space instead.
Here's to you, trans, climate, communist, No Kings, Chaz Guy!

LOL...Baron is no Genius...never even researched (as per usual) the issue before posting...
...here's an excerpt from the 'Climate Pledge Arena' Wiki page....Anyone here use "Amazon"?...a thriving Capitalist Corporation that doesn't hide from the reality of Climate Change, as some posters on this Forum do.
---------------------
KeyArena was the first publicly financed arena in the area that was fully supported by earned income from the building.[21] Arena finances were bolstered for several years by a payment following the settlement of a lawsuit over the lease with the SuperSonics in 2008. However, the lower level of activity and revenue after the departure of the Sonics left little reserve beyond basic building maintenance.[22]
In contrast, Climate Pledge Arena was completely privately financed with the city receiving annual rent and a portion of additional revenue generated by events and surrounding parking. Amazon bought the naming rights to the new arena in June 2020, dedicating the arena name to bringing attention to climate change,[23] specifically the pledge promoted by the advocacy group Global Optimism for businesses to reach net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2040.

Baron’s post did not mention financing. How much CO2 does a park generate?
Your condescension is laughable. You just insult people and go off on a tangent.
You aren’t fooling anyone.
Aside: just saw UCONN women’s program loses $2 mil per year. South Carolina loses $6 million .
I would think those are the two top programs these days.
It doesn't take long for NIL to gobble up modest profit, I'd imagine.

Is the land acknowledgement carved into a large stone in front of the arena?

Of course! They see you, acknowledge your lived experience, and are very trauma-informed.
