IronChefShark Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 KNBR 680 out of San Francisco reports that the 49ers and job placement website Monster.com are close to a naming rights deal for Candlestick Park pending approval from the city's parks and recreation dept. Monster Park......well if you have to be corporate, at least sound cool being corporatebesides, the Stick is one big, windy, ugly monster to begin with US state flag concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Monster Park is a cool coperate name like Cincinnatis Great AMerican Ballpark www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Monster Park is a cool coperate name like Cincinnatis Great AMerican Ballpark Great American Ballpark is simply the coolest corporate named stadium/arena there is. My only problem is that it's too good because I did not realise until just before opening day last year that it was a corporate named ballpark. I guess if you are willing to shell millions of dollars to put your name on a ballpark, you have to make obvious that it is corporate ballpark. Although Pac Bell Park was a cool name for a corporate ballpark I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea it was named after a bank until I saw an ad behind one of the nets in the early 90s.

zer0dotcom Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 In the corperate world we are turning into, Monster park wouldn't be such a bad name, you're all right, it does sound cool. I hate to see the old stadium names, the tradition of naming your ballpark/arena/stadium after a porminent person in the local history, or national history, or player...I am forever waiting for the day that we see in college football, the grandest of all corperately sponsored bowl games, the 2000 Flushes Toilet Bowl!

rockchalk Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Monster Park? I don't know, if it's gonna be corporate, I guess it's fine, but for the Niners it just doesn't sound right. Now Chicago, that would be perfect for. I've decided to give up hope for all sports teams I follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucky Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 I always thought the coolest thing would be if a company renamed itself just so their ballpark wouldn't sound so corporate. Like if some bank changed its name to Fenway Bank and then paid for a new stadium for the Sox. Imagine all the good publicity they'd get... Yeah do that. Do exactly THAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyfan36 Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 citizens bank park in philly would have sounded great if it had been "citizens park" - making it sound like it belongs to the citizens (which it should) i was so pissed the day i heard the namelincoln financial field is cool cause it has a cool nickname "the linc"wachovia (wachovia center) is fun to say - just say it sounded out "WAH-KO-VEE-AH"thats all from philly - im phillyfan36, sportslogos.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheateater Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 lincoln financial field is cool cause it has a cool nickname "the linc" Although this one ain't so bad, seeing as how the company ITSELF is named after someone else.....Abe Lincoln, of course. No shame in that, huh?
