Who's the idiot who suggested that to Old Man Rogers? You know you shouldn't put ideas in his head once the medication has kicked in... Although you've gotta think that for out-of-towners, who never really got hooked on any single name, what they hear on the radio/on TV is what they'll remember in the short-term.i.e. many Edmontonites may still call it Northlands Coliseum, but for me, living in Winnipeg, I knew it initially as Skyreach Centre and now Rexall Place.Although SkyDome has more of a national identity, it may happen similarly in that context. Torontonians may be hooked on the SkyDome name, but in a few years, maybe there'll be a significant portion of the Canadian population who is very familiar with the name "Rogers Centre".Even if "Centre" is a dumb name for a ballpark. "Centre" is what you call an arena... "Park", "Field", "Dome", "Stadium", "Coliseum", etc. are what you call a ballpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stampman Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Candlestick has the history so it can transcend that--but locally there is usually little change among the fans...
