no more BOB

[EricG]

they rename Bank one Ballpark, AKA The BOB, to Chase Field

[Mizzou]

I hate the fact that seemingly every stadium is now "Corporate Stadium."

[UMFan83]

Heh, it takes one corporate named ballpark to be changed to another corporate name for you to express your opinion on this matter? ;)

 

I don't think the corporate name thing bothers me anymore, its when ballparks change their name that bugs me.

 

RIP Jack Murphy Stadium, Pro Player/Joe Robbie Stadium, Fleet Center, Candlestick Park, Astrodome, Comiskey Park, etc etc etc

What is the title for the Bears now. Bank One presents the Chicago Bears? :x I may be wrong but wasn't the reason for this because Soldier Field was considered a historic landmark and it's name couldn't be sold?

[bhogg]

"Wrigley" Field. . . . .

I was thinking for a second that Len was going solo when I read the title

The thing is, despite that Bank One tie-in, you don't hear people talk about it at all. They're never called, "Bank One Presents the Chicago Bears" during games, on highlight shows, or anything like that. It's decidedly bizarre, imo.
