The naming rights to the Miami Dolphins’ home field have been sold again. The team is expected on Wednesday to announce a five-year deal with Canadian-based Sun Life Financial that will give the stadium its second name change in as many years.

The move was not unexpected. When the deal with Land Shark Lager, a Jimmy Buffett branded beer brewed by Anheuser-Busch, was signed last May, the parties made clear it was a one-year deal that would end at the conclusion of the Orange Bowl.

The deal with Sun Life is reportedly worth $7.5 million per year.

In May, Jimmy performed at a press event announcing the deal. He also played a show outside the stadium before the Monday Night game on September 21st when the Dolphins hosted the Colts.

This morning the Miami Dolphins made it official with a press conference and performance by Jimmy Buffett that culminated with the unveiling of the new logo for Landshark Stadium.

Buffett performed Margaritaville, Volcano, and then a special Dolphins version of Fins. Tickets to the event were given to local parrothead clubs and select Dolphins fans.

Update – Here are the lyrics to “Fins For The Fish”, a modified version of “Fins” that Jimmy sang at the press conference on Friday:

We drive down on Interstate 95
And up on U.S. 1
It’s game day in Miami town
Where the Dolphins are Number 1 (numero uno)
We play down by the ocean
In the warm South Florida sun
The tailgate’s down so gather round
For some pre-game LandShark fun.

Chorus
Can’t you feel us circlin’ Dolphfans
Can’t you feel us schoolin’ around?
We got fins to the left, fins to the right,
We’re at the only game in town
Oh Oh Oh Oh
We got fins to the left, fins to the right,
It’s the only game in town

From Lauderdale and Boca
Palm Beaches and the Florida Keys
It’s a game day mass migration
High fives fill the breeze
Kick off time’s approaching
We gotta shut off our cell phones
And get our arms up in the air
We are entering the “FinZone”

Chorus
Can’t you feel us circlin’ Dolphfans
Can’t you feel us swimmin’ around?
We got fins to the left, fins to the right,
We’re at the only game in town
Oh Oh Oh Oh
We got fins to the left, fins to the right,
It’s the only game in town

Jimmy Buffett and Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross will hold a press conference today at Dolphins Stadium to announce a new partnership. Buffett has reportedly accepted a business role with the company and the stadium is likely to be renamed Landshark Stadium.

Jimmy will perform a few songs and several high profile sports celebrities will be in attendance.

The event will begin around 10:30 am EDT and will be broadcast on Radio Margaritaville. You might also tune your TV to ESPN or ESPN News as they might be carrying the press conference live.

The Business of Sports blog at SunSentinel.com has a photo of the logo for the soon-to-be-named Landshark Stadium, which will be announced tomorrow at a press conference with Jimmy Buffett and Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross.

Sharp-eyed colleague Ted Hutton, who was covering Thursday’s Marlins-Atlanta Braves game, looked up about an hour after the game ended and saw the Dolphin Stadium scoreboard outfitted with the LandShark Stadium logo. He snapped this photo quickly – when he looked up again, the image was gone. In anticipation of Friday’s press conference in which Jimmy Buffett and Dolphins owner Stephen Ross are to announce a business deal that is to include the branding of the Dolphins’ home as LandShark Stadium for one season, enjoy.
