Dolphins owner Stephen Ross targeted Jon Bon Jovi first

in 2012 Miami Dolphins News
Email
PrintIn the latest issue of the Sports Business Journal, Terry Lefton writes that Jimmy Buffett was not Dolphins owner Stephen Ross's top choice to become a minority owner. Instead, it was actually Jon Bon Jovi who Ross originally courted to invest in the Dolphins.
Bon Jovi, who currently is a part owner of the AFL's Philadelphia Soul, turned down the offer though because the Dolphins wouldn't cave to his demand that his deal with the Dolphins be an exclusive arrangement - one that would prevent the Dolphins from partnering up with any other entertainers.
Ross, though, is trying very hard to partner with many celebrities as he can - or so it seems. So he passed on Jon Bon Jovi and instead partnered with Jimmy Buffett (via the stadium naming rights) and Gloria Estefan (via a small minority ownership deal). And that's just who Ross has reached out to as of now.
So my question to you - to help pass the time - is which partners you would have preferred? Would you have wanted only Jon Bon Jovi as the sole "entertainer" who was somehow connected to the Dolphins? Or do you like having Jimmy Buffett and Gloria Estefan as stakeholders in the Dolphins in some capacity?

I am pretty surprised at how balanced the poll is at 21 votes...
I thought Bon Jovi would have an easy win…
Tracking the Fins from Rio de Janeiro, the "Cidade Maravilhosa"
But there are a ton of Buffett fans in Florida
Never underestimate the “Parrot Heads.” (which, by the way, is a terrible nickname for Buffett fans….just terrible)
I would much rather have Bon Jovi
no question, he is/was a much better entertainer than Buffet and Estefan, and he already has experience in owning a football franchise, i would have been much happier with him being a minority owner…i was shocked when i heard of Bufffet signing on and then Estefan i couldn’t believe it, but if it were Bon Jovi, i wouldn’t really have questioned it too much and woulda been really happy

Bon Jovi great, but not representative of Miami/South Florida culture
As much as I enjoy Bon Jovi’s music more than Buffet’s or Estefan’s, Jon Bon Jovi is not the first musician that most people think of when they think of Miami. Jimmy Buffet and Gloria Estefan are more associated with Miami (Buffet moreso with Key West….but still…South Florida).

well of course
but should that even be a consideration?
I mean – Bon Jovi is part owner of the Philadelphia Soul. Do you think Bon Jovi when you think Philly music?
No
Sayreville is longer than 45 minutes from Philly.
Regardless, he never had anything to do with Philadelphia until he became famous. So why couldn’t he do that with Miami?
Splittin hairs here, aren't we Matty,
what 50 mins, an hour, just jump on the turnpike, and bob’s your uncle, It’s not that far either way, he is close enough.
On the other hand he has absolutely no connection to SoFla, not even close proximity, but JB and GE are SoFla Icons, Bon Jovi isn’t a Fin fan, so whats the point, it would just look like a cheap gimmick IMO.

lol
it’s over an hour – let’s be fair
but i guess this really has nothing to do with the original topic, huh?
Ah, well said,
lets keep it on point, lol
And to be honest I’ve gained a lot more respect for Bon Jovi after hearing him several times on the Stern show in recent months, I guess I’m starting to warm up to him a little, and my inner demons keep fighting it off , LOL
I hate getting old :>D

Bon Jovi is a bigger name than the other two and would attract a more diverse crowd than Buffet or Estefan IMO

Older folks do not listen to Bon Jovi
as much as they do J Buffett or Estefan, he’s a pop rock signer.

True
but i would rather have younger fans at the games than older ones…younger peeps have the capability to be louder and sustain their cheering and whatnot for a longer period of time…and when i mean older i am talking like 65+ lol (don’t want to get heckled by all you “older” dudes lol)

Bon Jovi would appeal to a more national audience
Which is probably why Ross wanted him instead of Estefan and Buffet. That would potentially attract more Fins fans, but we already have a lot of fans throughout the country.
Current Phinsider Feud Points: 23
A national audience?
A national audience won’t put more fans in the seats, buying souveniers and beers! Estefan and buffet will get more fans in the stands than bon jovi. its not like he’d be performing every halftime show had he signed up!! besides iit also shows a commitment that this new owner won’t decide to up and move the team with locals as co-owners
haha yea i'm having a hard time figuring that out also lol

SoFla Icons,
IDK if it would work either way, but why would more people go to the game cuz some washed up old pop singer from JERSEY was a part owner, at least JB and GE are associated with the vicinity and keep their homes there.

Bloody hell yes!
Even if a lot of the Rooney family also lives here. (Yes, the Steelers Rooney’s) (& a couple of them are friends of mine.)
Lots of Bills fans, Giants fans, Patsies fans, Forskins fans, Browns & Bangles fans, Beagles fans, etc. here too. Too cold for them at home!
Funny, no Lions fans.
Oh yeah, I forgot. There are NO Lions fans!
The Miami Dolphins have never been in danger of moving
and they never will be, the market is too large and there’s way too much history within this franchise for them to move.

Buffett and Estefan reach a larger and more diversified audience,
and they are tied to SoFla, seems like a no brainer to me.
On a personal note, never was a fan of Buffett or Estefan, but their music is inoffensive to me, Bon Jovi on the other hand makes me cringe, the new jersey cowboy, lol, give me a break, and that fake accent, remember that scene from Animal House when Bluto takes that guys guitar and smashes it all over the place, hands it back shrugs and says “sorry”, I would love to do that to Bon Jokie, it’s a fantasy of mine. lol
There is one lesson here...
Perhaps the whole idea to get “entertainers” to partner is a bad one… In 10 replies we got people hating Estefan over Bon Jovi, and the other way around…
Unless it is someone not really questionable (or less of a specific individual taste)… Spielberg, George Lucas…
That’s it… We should sell to Lucas and rename the stadium Skywalker Stadium…
Tracking the Fins from Rio de Janeiro, the "Cidade Maravilhosa"
lol
Skywalker Stadium? ugh…..
I don’t think calling George Lucas a celebrity who has less of a specific taste. I can’t stand his work – to be honest.
blasphemy!!

Bottom line....Who cares who is courted, wined, dined and given a title of
“Minority owner”! It isn’t as if they will be making decisions on who pounds the rock, draft choices etc.,
My only concern is that all decisions FOOTBALL; football personnel, coaches, equipment is made by FOOTBALL people. As long as the trifecta stays in place I am happy!!!!!!
C’mon guys, do we HONESTLY care what idiot celebrity/millionaire douche bag says they own a piece of the team?!?!?
As long as my FINS keep rolling over the AFC East rivals and compete for the Superbowl, I wouldn’t care if Jenna Jameson, the Jackson 5, or Jabba the Hutt owns minority ownership!!!
hahahahaha
I don’t think they understand how tough your job is, LOLOL, there’s just a new post everyday, and they like it, but where did it come from? Obviously not George Lucas, he’s too busy ruining his old movies, LOL

well sadly the Jackson 5
is outta the question, it’ll have to be the Jackson 4…but now Jenna Jameson and Jabba the Hutt, those aren’t bad ideas
but think about this, celebrities with stake in the team could attract more fans which will better for the team…they are creative and can come up with ways to attract more fans like put on concerts or whatnot…and plus their celebrity status alone will attract fans

With Jenna JRS could be named "That big f***ing black hole"
I absolutely agree. As long as football decisions are made by football people!
I am not a fan of Jimmy, Gloria or Jon. I don’t care who the minority owners are.
Personally I think he should go after Jackie Gleason’s heirs. Name it Kramer Stadium!
Oh yeah, most of the fans are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too young for that!
How about the Gleason’s and Don Johnson?
Then it could be Tubby Kramer’s Crockett Stadium!
Or Ferrari? Name it TestaRossa Stadium? (That would fit better because the Phins seem to be the red headed stepchild of the NFL by the media)
Or Lamborghini? Name it SoBe Stadium.
it'd be kinda cool if it was a jedi..

bon jovi may be my favorite band after The Beatles, so that would have been great if he was in the mix. Gloria and Jimmy are cool and all, but bon jovi’s albums still go Platinum or better so it would be kind of cool to have a huge name associated with the team ownership.
It’s really just a side thing though, as long as the team wins it’s all good.
yup
It’s really just a side thing though, as long as the team wins it’s all good.
That’s 100% true. But like I said, I’m just trying to pass the time until camp. lol
land shark-bon jovi stadium?
Yeah exactly, not much else to talk about. And if we got Jon then the stadium wouldn’t be named Land Shark Stadium. I wonder if they still would have changed the name though? bon jovi stadium actually sounds better and would have been different, it probably would have stayed Dolphin Stadium though.
You are a beast Matty! These things are fun though, if you don't take some of them too seriously.

With everything going on?
This entire conversation is ridiculus…obviosly it is beneficial to have Jimmy and Gloria then Jon. Jimmy and Gloria are live in Miami, Jon does not. Jimmy and Gloria are fans, Jon is not. Jimmy and Gloria would attract more Dolphin Fans, Where as Jon will not for this reason. Their are two of them (hopefully saying that they would perform seperatly, meaning on two different dates), As Jon Bon Jovi would probably only have one performance.

Uhhh.... guys..... Before You Vote for JBJ.... READ THIS!!!

So basically a vote for JBJ is a vote for Belicheat. And he’s currently leading the voting. GJ.
Some people try to find things in this game that don't exist but football is only two things - blocking and tackling. ~Vince Lombardi
Its about a non-exclusive deal
Basically you don’t want to tie down your franchise to only being associated with one demographic with its “celebrity minor ownership” which is what would have happened with the Bon Jovi deal, which is probably why you won’t get any “megastar” names as they want the limelight all for themselves.
As it is you could get a reasonable number of “local” celebrity fans taking a small piece of the club, therefore hopefully appealing to multiple demographics and bringing new fans even if its just for one game this season and then building on that once people have experienced watching the awesome Dolphins playing live and direct then they’ll come along more often, spend more money and everybody is happy.
Basically its a cheap way of potentially expanding the fanbase and getting more people interested in the first place.
But I’m more in favour of lots of minor celebrities than one big one, then again I’ve always loved the scattergun effect theory.
thank god , no bon jovi
thank god , no bonjovi deal,bon jovi sux, he had one hit and it wasnt all that. it was even more embarrasing that he called his music hardrock/heavy metal, it was the gayest pop of the day. but enough said. jimmy and gloria, are south florida !!!, home grown , born and bred, i’d rather give the locals first crack. but somethings missing, we should tap the “black market” and get luther campbell of two live crew, then there will be nothing better than hearing me so horny while thinking bout football, lol
lol
now that’s an idea
as far as Bon Jovi – I’m far from a big fan of his. But he had much more than just one hit.
what about Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
holy crap that would be awesome…we would have the most badass owner in sports and we could call the stadium The Rock

That'd be cool
Though I’m against calling it “The Rock” because that’s the name that the arena the NJ Devils play at has been given. It’s really the Prudential Center – but their logo is a rock…hence the nickname “The Rock.”
Then there’s the RAC – which is the Rutgers Athletic Center…where RU plays their basketball games.
How about “Smackdown Stadium”? lol
i am pretty much with all of you folks. dont really care who owns it as long as they keep there hands off the footballs side of it.
but getting the rock would be cool… it would win over all the over weight beer drinking red necks in this state for sure.
every time the phins scored i would see all the hillbillies jump and scream

Matty, this was the best ever (okay 2nd to the JT interview) because . . .
it really let the fans have their say, because it IS (in the end at least) about the fans. I loved it, even with the wacky ideas, they were great too! Thanks for doing an incredible job! Not just writing, but also finding little nuggets of info that can blow up to full articles! And thanks again for the JT interview. How about JP next?
I still think Ross should go after Springsteen and rope in all those ABJ fans in Jersey. Heck it sure looks like we have a hack of a headstart! Ross could then set up charter flights and busses for those fans to come to home games. And to Pats & Bills away games. And of course to FILL the stands at the JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJets games and make THEM feel like home games!
Just imagine what it would be like for the Phins to go on the road and see a sea of Phin fans! Just how pumped would they get?!
