Aston Villa Owners Consider Renaming Villa Park With View to Improving Revenue

The majority owners at Aston Villa, Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens, are considering renaming Villa Park as they look to improve revenue streams coming into the club.

Villa Park has been the home of Aston Villa since 1897, and has never had a sponsor in its name. However, it's a move that has become increasingly popular with clubs, with Villa's local rivals Birmingham recently re-named their ground the St. Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium.

As a result, Birmingham Mail are reporting that Villa could be set to do likewise, with the owners keen to look into the possibility of doing so, as a spokesperson stated commercial opportunities at the club are under 'constant negotiation'.
