kimball 5,242 Posted April 5, 2019 Let's have a little fun. With the majority of sports stadiums, arenas and ballparks named with a corporate sponsor ... what would you want YOUR team's venue to be called if corporate names weren't allowed? Here are mine ... Utah Jazz - Salt Palace or Miller Sports Arena San Francisco Giants - McCovey Park or South Beach Park Pittsburgh Steelers - Rooney Field Chicago Blackhawks/Bulls - Chicago Stadium II or Madison Street Arena 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magic Dynasty 2,533 Posted April 5, 2019 Fun idea! Orlando Magic: New Orlando Arena or Church Street Center (both a homage to Church Street Station, the historic main street of the city, and it fits geographically). Orlando City: (even though they don’t have a corporate sponsor, I’m doing this as a joke) We Didn’t Take Your Tax Money Stadium, short name WDTYTMS. Orlando RIP-no-one-plays-heres: Citrus Bowl Tampa Bay Rays: St. Petersburg Dome, Florida Suncoast Dome, or (joke) The Warehouse. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dilbert 966 Posted April 5, 2019 Cincinnati Reds: Crosley Riverfront Park Cincinnati Bengals: Okay so Paul Brown Stadium isnt a corporate name but Id still change it to The Jungle, or The Factory of Sameness FC Cincinnati: Currently they are using Nippert Stadium at the University of Cincinnati but their new stadium doesnt have a corporate sponsor yet. So if we did the opposite for the new stadium and gave it a corporate sponsor I would go with the Skyline Chili Bowl. Cincinnati Cyclones: Riverfront Coliseum, or The Crown (Previous names for US Bank Arena) Cincinnati Bearcats basketball: Shoemaker Center Xavier Musketeers basketball: Xavier Convocation Center NKU Norse basketball: Northern Kentucky Events Center 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RyanMcD29 861 Posted April 5, 2019 Islanders- Nassau Coliseum. Not that anyone's called it NYCB Live outside of being required on telecasts anyway Mets- Shea Stadium (Correct) II Jets- Meadowlands Syracuse- The Dome, though they can transfer Ernie Davis from the field name to naming the whole Dome to him 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4_tattoos 1,505 Posted April 6, 2019 Redskins/FedEx Field- Redskins Stadium (believe it was briefly called that at one point between Jack Kent Cooke's death and the naming right deal with FedEx). Capitals & Wizards/Capital One Arena- either Gallery Place Arena or 7th Street Arena DC United/Audi Field- Buzzard Point Stadium 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SFGiants58 14,558 Posted April 7, 2019 Giants: Willie Mays Park or Lefty O'Doul Park Brewers: Yount Park, Milwaukee County Stadium II, and/or Spahn Stadium Sharks: San Jose Arena, The Shark Tank, or (once he's retired) The Marleau Arena Warriors: Mission Bay Arena or the Attles Center Trail Blazers: Rose Garden (go back to it) 23 hours ago, the admiral said: Brewers - Bud Selig Stadium I'm sure you can think of more deserving people that that. Yount, Fred Miller, any member of the '57 Braves, etc. all deserve mentions. Heck, even Miller Valley Park sounds nice. Of course, I have a few names for teams that I don't follow. Astros: Union Station Grounds Mariners: SoDo Field White Sox: Sox Park (don't honor the asshat whose cheapness caused the Black Sox scandal) Cleveland: Doby Field or Sockalexis Stadium (with the family's blessing) Tigers: Tiger Stadium II or Kaline Park Twins: Killebrew Field Blue Jays: Skydome Rays: Florida Suncoast Dome Braves: Hank Aaron Park Mets: Robinson Field or McGraw Field (after John McGraw) Phillies: McGraw Park (after Tug McGraw) or Ashburn Park Nationals: Josh Gibson Memorial Stadium Pirates: Clemente Park, Three Rivers' Field, or Forbes Field II Reds: Lombardi Field or Crosley Field II Padres: Tony Gwynn Park or Williams Field Rockies: Mile High Field or Blake Street Grounds Diamondbacks: Snake Stadium or Phoenix Field 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the admiral 29,103 Posted April 7, 2019 1 minute ago, neo_prankster said: Chicago Bulls - Jordan Center It would almost certainly be called the Chicago Stadium if United decided they didn't want to sponsor it anymore. I was surprised the Ilitches didn't go with "Detroit Olympia" for the new joint. They're not making any money on the naming rights anyway. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DNAsports 6,172 Posted April 7, 2019 A few years ago, a local company called Nymeo bought the Frederick Keys (local high-a affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles). This was in a effort to keep the team from moving. They subsequently changed the name of the Keys stadium from Harry Grove Stadium to Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium. I would revert it back to HGS or rename it to Francis Scott Key Field at Mt. Olivet Stadium. Francis Scott Key is burried at Mt. Olivet Cemetery right behind the Keys stadium. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seadragon76 889 Posted April 7, 2019 I do appreciate what @SFGiants58 said about the Mariners and SoDo Field... I thought that should of been an option in the renaming process... Seahawks/Sounders: Seahawks Stadium (Before the corporate names, that's what it was known as) Seattle NHL Team/Sonics: Seattle Center or Seattle Arena Washington Football: No name change needed Washington Basketball: Hec Edmudson Pavillion 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
