According to the Boston Globe, the city is selling the naming rights to its high school sports stadium for $500,000.

The Gloucester High School Fighting Fishermen are the defending Division 1A Eastern Massachusetts champs.  Last year, Gloucester beat Bridgewater-Raynham 34-13 last year to cap a perfect 13-0 season.

The championship was the third in the last four years for the Fighting Fishermen.
