It's historically corporate but it does not actively promote the chewing gum company. Secondly: someone said: "Get over it - stadiums all over the place (especially in the US) are getting renamed by corporate sponsorship, with very few exceptions (Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, etc). It’s just the way it is." THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE HAVE TO LIKE AND ACCEPT IT. Many of us are SICKENED by this practice. And it's not just stadiums and arenas, it's also music amphitheaters. Some places are now on their 3rd and yeah, even their 4th name in only a decade. This is asinine. It's a symbol of America that SUCKS and makes me ashamed to be from this great nation. The league owners and stadium owners, etc should NEVER have allowed this to happen. So your team doesn't have $100 million for better players. If no other teams have corporate naming then neither do they. What in damn hell happened to naming these great venues after a person or a place or a team and allowing that to stand as a memorial or in honor of the namesake? I don't want to see a game in Dunn Tire Field or in the Dunkin Donuts Center or Network Associates Coliseum. I also want to know that the name won't be different next year and I want to be able to keep them straight. There was a time when I knew where each American football, baseball, hockey, and basketball team in America played. Now it's hard to keep track of 'em all. It's pathetically ridiculous. And hey, listen, while Anfield, a very historic name might be lost, Carlsberg Field is not as bad something like SBC Park (not to be confused with SBC Field or SOOOOOOOOO many more I could name.)

Haha brilliant! Martin: $30 million a year for naming rights? Arsenal's deal with Emirates is only worth £100m over 15 years. brn442: Great points. Lennon :

Looks interesting. I was just looking for a different way to editorialize the rumors of a potential Carlsberg Stadium. And taking the concept of sponsor names to this extreme seemed effective enough (and, well, fun). Ian,

In fact, in American Football & Basketball they actually stop the game for commercials. Something that's especially annoying when you go to a live match. As much as I am annoyed by the growing sponsor creep: Secondary sponsors on shirts and shorts, on refferees, on stadia and cups, its a slightly better option than compromising the integrity of the actual game.

But none of the major sports, besides NASCAR (it's the 4th largest sport in terms of revenue in the US) has any corporate or sponsorship logos on the uniforms. The only logo you will find on an NFL jersey is the RBK logo, as they are the current provider of official NFL gear. In the US, the arenas are more and more corporate.

Personally I have no problem ESPECIALLY when done say like the city of Pittsburgh with all three sports stadiums/arenas to be named after LOCAL businesses. That way it seems to celebrate the area while still bringing in much needed money for the team. Also calling NEW stadiums with corporate names seems less dodgy than changing say...old Anfield or Old Trafford into BP Park. I actually rather call the New Wembley Haribo Field instead of New Wembley since you cant summon the aura of the old Wembley just by calling it that, even though its in the same spot. Much more egregious to me than stadium naming was the sponsor logos that football clubs have been putting on their kits in a much larger and centered fashion than even the teams crest or shield. Over here in America if the Yankees or Steelers or Maple Leafs came out with a big McDonalds M on the middle of their jersey instead of their team logo there would be riots in the stands. You have all seemed to have gotten over that bit of "tradition"...stadium names should be not a problem for you then. Go TOON....get all three points from those cottagers!

There are still a few stadia in America that aren't corporate: Yankee Stadium, Cowboys Stadium, Fenway Park, Turner Field, Wrigley, but the rest seem to change every year. It's very frustrating as a fan to hear the name of a stadium and not know where it is or who plays there. Wrigley Field is named after the then owner of the Cubs, who also owned the Wrigley Company.
