With today's exchange rate, it seems a risky thing to do.

It's was almost mindnumbing the first time I went to an American soccer game. '...and this cornerkick is sponsored by .....'....I think there is even a sponsor and a prize competition for the first yellow card of the game awarded to the opponents. Also, the scoreboard suddenly coming to life at an inopertune moment with an ad is weird.
