I'm big on traditions like that. VERY GOOD POINT! I was so proud when the Skins called the new stadium (now fed ex) Jack Kent Cooke stadium, and a little piece of me died when they renamed it. 12thMan 12-14-2006, 05:17 PM Definitely. F...selling out to corporate sponsors. I think there are still a few stadiums that still don't have the corporate sponsors. Arrowhead Stadium Giants Stadium Soldier Field Super Dome Lambeau Field Browns Stadium jsarno 12-14-2006, 05:26 PM I think there are still a few stadiums that still don't have the corporate sponsors. Arrowhead Stadium Giants Stadium Soldier Field Super Dome Lambeau Field Browns Stadium Giants and browns stadium is not original. Same with the Superdome. Lambeau, Arrowhead and Soldier field are classics. Look at other stadiums...Fenway park, Wrigley field, the old Boston Garden, Madison Square garden...you think of these places, and nostalgia fills your heart. Nothing good enters your mind when you think "fed ex field". We need an identity. Bring back Jack Kent Cooke stadium! 12thMan 12-14-2006, 05:28 PM Giants and browns stadium is not original.

What do you mean they aren't original? jsarno 12-14-2006, 05:39 PM What do you mean they aren't original? They took no thought. Just named it after the team. The good ones are the ones that mean something, that have a history. There was a reason it was named, or dedicated to someone. Don't get me wrong, it's better than Alliance field, or Petco Park etc etc, but they could have taken that one step farther and made it very original. What if Phily named their stadium, Vince Papaly (sp?) stadium? All the fans would feel they went to a stadium that stood for perserverance, and guts. Just a thought.

Arrowhead Stadium Giants Stadium Soldier Field Super Dome Lambeau Field Browns Stadium Yeah, and then there are those places like Mile High and Candlestick. They sold out, but everyone refuses to acknowledge it -- haha (spoken in the voice of Nelson)! For example, Mile High still says "Mile High" all over the place. 12thMan 12-14-2006, 05:49 PM They took no thought. Just named it after the team.

But isn't Browns stadium named after Paul Brown..the owner? jsarno 12-14-2006, 05:56 PM Oh, I see. But isn't Browns stadium named after Paul Brown..the owner? Oh, you're right...I forgot about that. OK, I take that one back. jsarno 12-14-2006, 05:57 PM Yeah, and then there are those places like Mile High and Candlestick. They sold out, but everyone refuses to acknowledge it -- haha (spoken in the voice of Nelson)! For example, Mile High still says "Mile High" all over the place. My wife is a broncos fan, I remember laughing at her when I heard the name "invesco field at mile high". She was pissed that they sold out. Then again, she laughed at me when we changed from Jack Kent Cooke to Fed Ex...so she deserved it. HAHA Freakin Snyder the sell out. I would wager we will never see his name on a professional stadium. I say professional cause he's into himself enough to buy a little league stadium and name it after him. SmootSmack 12-14-2006, 06:21 PM I think there are still a few stadiums that still don't have the corporate sponsors. Arrowhead Stadium Giants Stadium Soldier Field Super Dome Lambeau Field Browns Stadium Ralph Wilson Stadium Georgia Dome Texas Stadium But then, the sponsorship may not be in the stadium name. Cleveland Browns Stadium (not to be confused with the Bengals' Paul Brown Stadium) has corporate sponsors for its seating areas, parking lots, entrance gates.
