"Our customers associate 'O' with Overstock.com, which made the transition to O.co seamless.  As a Savings Engine, this is the next step in adding more visibility to our shortcut," said Overstock.com Chairman and CEO Patrick Byrne. "Naming the facility O.co Coliseum demonstrates our commitment to seeing through the execution of the new domain."

In April 2011, Overstock.com announced a six-year deal, in partnership with the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Authority that included naming rights to the home of both the NFL Oakland Raiders and the MLB Oakland Athletics.

"The Coliseum Authority is thrilled to have O.co as a corporate partner and placing their name on the building. Authority's goal was to sell its name to a reputable company that does a vast amount of business not only in the Bay Area but also worldwide. We look forward to a strong and healthy partnership for years to come." said Ignacio De La Fuente, Chair of the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Authority.

"Overstock.com is clearly at the forefront of digital marketing and their decision to use a .CO domain in such a big way, underscores their willingness to lead the market and to disrupt the status quo," said Juan Diego Calle, CEO of .CO Internet SAS.
