Bankrupt Sports Authority wants to shed its sponsorship agreements with nine professional sports teams — including the Denver Broncos and the Colorado Rockies.
The Englewood-based sporting goods retailer is in the process of liquidating and late Friday asked a federal bankruptcy court to let it reject — court language for “get out of” — the nine agreements. The deals include benefits such as ticket-back advertisements, rotational signage, logo rights and mascot appearances.
The list of proposed rejected contracts does not include Sports Authority’s agreement with the Metropolitan Football Stadium District for naming rights to Mile High Stadium in Denver, where the Broncos play.
