I prefer "Skydome".<br /><br />(And the thing is, no one will call it by its actual name, except announcers. Fans will come up with some nickname or whatever. "G-Rate". It's great!

The naming of stadiums after corporate sponsors has never sat well with me, either. The Boston Garden, Fenway Park, and Foxboro Stadium: to me, those are names that mean Boston. Gillette Stadium? TD Garden? The latter has been renamed three times, from Shawmut Center to FleetCenter to TD Banknorth Garden to what it is now. What's the point other than to make a buck?FenFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07093124081174881768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-29960504370162789062016-08-25T20:06:30.705-07:002016-08-25T20:06:30.705-07:00Allan ,

I would prefer if these "marketing mongrels" were passengers of a "kursk" style submarine !!!!!!! The sooner they are removed from society the better off we will all be. Can you imagine the backlash if they "tried" to rename Fenway or Wrigley ....... There would be blood in the streets ....... Find out these Goons names & make up an Annual award for stupidity & pointlessness in their honour ........ NUF CEDPaul Hickmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00144667244809443144noreply@blogger.com
