Dolphins Make Major Announcement With Britto
MIAMI (CBS4) ―
Miami Dolphins owner Stephen M. Ross held a press conference Friday night in a party with pop art star Romero Britto and rapper T-Pain at Casa Casaurina, along with a show by the Dolphins cheerleaders.
Ross has been making it a point to reach out to celebrities in hopes of turning a Dolphins game into an A-list function that celebrities will attend. Ross started out by making a deal with singer Jimmy Buffett which included the renaming of Dolphin Stadium to Land Shark Stadium. Land Shark is a beer owned by Buffett and InBev.
Now Romero Britto will be designing some upgrades for Land Shark stadium, making it a more colorful place for all who attend. T-Pain is producing a fight song for the team as well.
Earlier this year Ross also landed a deal with Gloria and Emilio Estefan to become minority owners of the Dolphins and recently struck a deal with Marc Anthony, who will appear during a Dolphins game in the 2009 season.
Britto's art is well-known to South Floridians and around the world and is featured in galleries around the world.
Ross also made a secondary announcement with Courtland Lantaff, who publishes Ocean Drive Magazine.
Following the press conference, the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders unveiled the 2010 Swimsuit Calendar at their annual swimwear fashion show at the invitation-only event.
