zer0dotcom Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Petco Park just sounds silly though. And Minute Maid Park conjures up ideas of shoddy construction. Petco Park is almost as offensive as Craven Stadium or Mojoto Arena.--Roger "Time?" Clemente. for us veterans.roger hits again with the zinger of the day. BOOYAH! boo-sha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj32 Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 They could always just go out on a limb and just name it "Foxboro Stadium" since i still know a bunch of people, myself included, who accidently slip and still call the new stadium by the old predecessor. That's Foxboro Stadium - formerly Sullivan Stadium - formerly Schaeffer Stadium! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesCraven Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 "McAfee Coliseum (formerly Network Associates Coliseum) just sounds like a horrible name to me." It does sound a bit better than what the writers used to call it in the late 1970's when the A's were horrible: "The Oakland-Alameda County Mausoleum."

Does anyone actually call it by it's "proper" name? All I've ever heard it called is the Oakland Coliseum or just the Coliseum. By the way, how many names has that place had in the last 10 years now? I've decided to give up hope for all sports teams I follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoHoJoe Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 If the P&G buyout of Gillette goes through, then Kraft SHOULD rename the stadium either John F. Kennedy Stadium or September 11 Stadium. Either way, the two above mentioned are the TRUE New England Patriots! BRING BASEBALL BACK TO MONTREAL!!!! MON AMOURS SIEMPRE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMMF Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 September 11 Stadium. Either way, the...above mentioned are the TRUE New England Patriots! Because Boston is where the hijackers got on? I'm not following the 9/11 logic.Sidenote: A high school outside Seattle was completed a little after 9/11 and the students voted to name it Todd Beamer High School. Do you remember him? Do you think anyone will in 10, 20, 50 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, the two above mentioned are the TRUE New England Patriots! i don't think they'd go with either of those becaue JFK Staidum would be too confused with RFK down in DC. And September 11 Stadium? oh yeah, the Patriots play in the big Nine-Eleven! definitely doesn't have the ring of the other stadium names. They might try to stay with the Boston corporation name if Gillette gets dumped. how about Dunkin Donuts Field? could call it "The Hole!" lol, or even Gorton's Stadium after the fish company based out of Gloucester (Gloss-ter), Mass. or hell, he could just be really uncreative and have Kraft foods get the stadium rights and name it Kraft Field....hmm, he might like that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
