Ricoh Coliseum Underway.
Ricoh Canada is expanding its visibility by becoming the proud
sponsor of a Toronto Coliseum, now known as the Ricoh Coliseum.
In November, Toronto city council gave final approval on a $38
million facelift to the building, which will be home to the American
League Hockey franchise, the Toronto Roadrunners.
The Toronto Roadrunners will be made up of pro prospects belonging
to the Edmonton Oilers. When renovations are complete, the Roadrunners
will commence playing at the Ricoh Coliseum after the Royal Winter
Fair in November 2003.
Ricoh has purchased naming rights for 10 years. A large sign bearing
Ricoh’s name will appear on top of the building. The newly
renovated Coliseum will have 10,050 seats and will not only host
hockey games, but will also be used for concerts and other events,
as well.
Within the Ricoh Coliseum, there will be several areas where the
Ricoh name will be recognized. Our name and logo will appear at
center ice, on the boards and on the clock. Ricoh will also have
some of products on display, along with a reserved corporate box,
where reps and dealers can host customers and hold corporate functions.
The project has been in development for two years, with an official
launch event slated for January 2003. For more information contact
