Funny stadium names?

[CaliforniaGlowin]

I just heard that Coastal Carolina University is playing at South Alabama this weekend at Stanky Field! 

Any other funny stadium names?

I have always thought that the name of Sick's Stadium, the home of the Seattle Pilots, was kind of funny.

Funny being used loosely, Navy Baseball plays at Terwilliger Brothers Field. Who knew these 2 were such big donors???

There’s soccer club Young Boys, who play at Wankdorf Stadium (now Stade de Suisse Wankdorf), leading to headlines like this:

Look no further than Jobing.com Arena. Not only is it stupid that it's called .com but JOBING.COM? What the hell kind of URL is that?

The WHL's Victoria Royals arena is the Save-On-Foods Memorial Arena.

 

So it's the Memorial Arena sponsored by Save-On-Foods, but it just sounds like it's a memorial to a grocery store chain.

The XL Center

 

When Ralston Purina owned the St. Louis Arena, it was the Checkerdome

Penn State > Beaver Stadium. 

 

It's named after a surname (James A. Beaver), but it sounds like the wrong team's mascot.

But like the Cow Palace, its original purpose was to house livestock. Don't think it's funny.

Rotterdam Ahoy...funnier.

The Pit was great before corporate money.

No, not really about the Stampede Corral.  The Stampede Corral was built to replace old Victoria Arena as home of the minor pro Calgary Stampeders of the WHL.  Opened in 1950.  First hockey game there 11 days after opening.  Always a multi-purpose arena with main use at the start intended for hockey.  At time of construction, was the largest arena in Canada west of Toronto.

My Lafayette Leopards officially play football in/on Fisher Field at Fisher Stadium. The field is named for the alumnus who solicited most of the money and donated a large sum when the stadium was built in 1926, which is why the name was just Fisher Field until 2006.  The stadium is named for a different person who was one of the donors supporting a major renovation in 2006 (and who may or may not be related to the original Fisher).

 

Post-renovation --

In my high school, our principal was Dr. Payne, so we called our basketball arena the House of Payne.
