PowerBalance Pavilion or SleepTrain Arena? when you’re a basketball team the LAST thing you want is sleeping fans. However PowerBalance was a fraud from the start so idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc... Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Nissan Stadium. The Titans play there. Nissan builds a pickup truck named Titan. Did they purposely not name it Nissan Titan Stadium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember hearing about a name change on local news, with them saying that name. Maybe it was about something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swilson160 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I'm partial to the newly-named home of the Galaxy, Dignity Health Sports Park. Looking forward to calling it Health Sports Park in July when LAFC comes to Carson and leaves with four goals, three points and Galaxy's dignity.

Yes, it's corporate, but Anheiser-Busch has been a community staple in STL for generations. At this point, it feels less like a sponsored name and more like Fenway or Yankee Stadium. When the Busch family first bought the stadium from the Browns, they tried to rename it Budweiser Stadium. Then-Commissioner Ford Frick shot that down, so they named it after themselves instead. But yeah. This is why so many Brewers fans are pissed off at re-naming Miller Park. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

And back in the day, the naming rights was just a one-and-done deal. You helped pay for the stadium, you got the name. Today, it's become much more contract-y with companies getting rights for a specific period of time. It's like the sponsor creep in college bowl games. You wind up with something like: Samsung presents the State Farm showing of the 12th annual Uber Doritos Bowl, brought to you by Coke Zero. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

It’s not as though re-namings were unheard of before, though. The original Busch Stadium came when the Busch family bought and re-named Sportsman’s Park, after all.
