Burning River Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Here in Cleveland it is the 10th Anniversary of Jacobs Field. So far, an era full of great memories. But it is also the 10th year of the name "Jacobs Field" as well. The Naming Rights to the ball park I do believe expire this year or soon there after. since it's "all about" generating money, I'm sure the Dolan's will entertain the idea of selling the naming rights.I'm not quite sure who will step up... but someone will. There really are no rumors or anything started... yet. Get ready for:BP ParkNational City Bank FieldGoodyear or Firestone FieldPierre's (Ice Cream) Park...or somehting else that says NOTHING baseball.

Magus Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 another corporate name on a ballbark? god helps us all. why can't owners leave the name of the ballparks, arena's and stadiums alone.

Bob5150 Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Well, arenas I can kind of see them getting corporate names, because they aren't as "personal" as football stadiums and ballparks, since they host all sorts of things, from hockey and basketball, to the X games, conventions and concerts. But football stadiums and ballparks are almost as much a part of the teams as the players. It just seems like the owners don't care much for their team's dignity when they sell out like this all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clannhoran Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I still call the park where the White Sox play "Comiskey Park". Some of us Chicagoans call it "The Joan" in honor of the U.S. Cellular spokesperson, Joan Cusack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac the Knife Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 The Naming Rights to the ball park I do believe expire this year or soon there after. Sorry, but this information is incorrect. Taken from the Indians' S-1 filing, from back in the days when they were a publicly owned company:Naming Rights Agreement. Gateway, the City, the County, the Company andMr. Jacobs entered into a Naming Rights Agreement regarding the naming of theballpark which expires in 2013.So, based on this at least, it'll be the Jake by the Lake for at least the next 9 years.
