Best Staduim Name

[Ray Crittenden]

The Superdome is one of the best names, but the stadium itself looks terrible on tv.

 

[babalu87]

Right,has the raiders staduim name changed,or am i just not with the program

I'll take not with the program for $800
WOOOT WOOOT WOOOT WOOOT
Thats a daily double

OK, stick with me here kid.

The Raiders played in Oakland, then because Al Davis wanted a new stadium they moved to Los Angeles to play in the Coliseum while they tried to get the city/county/state to build a new one. That never happened so, tail between legs Al Davis moved the Raiders back to Oakland.
They now play in a state of the art facility........ built 40 years ago ROFL

Was all that moving worth it Al Davis?

Wrigley Field, the 1st corporate named park and Fenway Park.

 

[RoadGrader]

do you ever think we'll see the day their will be a

Victoria's Secret Arena or a RealDoll Center?

they could be nick-named

The T&A (or simply The "V") and The Doll House


what about Cialis Ball Park at Fenway? would that become known as The Bat?


can you tell that like dashoe I'm bored today?

Well, they could have named it The Polian Center.

After all, Polian does have that "oily, slimy" demeanor about him.

Yankee Staduims another good one

Kinnick Stadium


I always thought that the Astrodome, although a pile of junk, was a fitting name for the first domed stadium.

Pink Taco Stadium would have been the greatest stadium name ever, but those beyatches in Arizona are pussies.

Personally, I'm waiting for the "Truth in Naming Stadiums" law to go in effect.

Then the next stadium to be named will be - "This Temple Honors the Glory, Ego and Ownership of (insert name here) to Which People Will pay Exorbitant Prices for Season Tickets and Terrible Tasting Concession Food with Lousy Bathroom Facilities and Crappy Parking with or without (choose one) Taxpayer Money Being Extorted"

 

[fulltilt]

CMG Field

CMGI

 

[MrsPats4ever]

Nothing beats the Old Boston Garden!! A true name that will hopefully not change again!!

Buffalo already has that name.
