RAIDERS RE-NAME STADIUM

Sure... listen to it now... the voice of NFL Films:

"on a dark, ominous day... when the unmovable object met the irresistable force. In the muddy trenches, an epic battle raged, as a panzer division met courageous resistance in the great struggle of...

... Overstock.com field..."

NOPE! not feeling it.

----here, lets try some other current facilities:

"on a dark, ominous day... when the unmovable object met the irresistable force. In the muddy trenches, an epic battle raged, as a panzer division met courageous resistance in the great struggle of...

... Fedex Field..."

"on a dark, ominous day... when the unmovable object met the irresistable force. In the muddy trenches, an epic battle raged, as a panzer division met courageous resistance in the great struggle of...

... Invesco Field..."

"on a dark, ominous day... when the unmovable object met the irresistable force. In the muddy trenches, an epic battle raged, as a panzer division met courageous resistance in the great struggle of...

... Bank of America Stadium..."

"on a dark, ominous day... when the unmovable object met the irresistable force. In the muddy trenches, an epic battle raged, as a panzer division met courageous resistance in the great struggle of...

... Edward Jones Dome..."

"on a dark, ominous day... when the unmovable object met the irresistable force. In the muddy trenches, an epic battle raged, as a panzer division met courageous resistance in the great struggle of...

... Mall of America Field..."

"on a dark, ominous day... when the unmovable object met the irresistable force. In the muddy trenches, an epic battle raged, as a panzer division met courageous resistance in the great struggle of...

... University of Phoenix Stadium..."

"Everbank Field, Quest Field, Lincoln Financial Field, Reliant Energy." Are you serious?

Anybody else see some incredible corporate lameness happening? What the hell has happened to the world? If they're that hard up for money, in a game that generates a surplus of 9 billion bucks, they're doing something wrong, and they're certainly not thinking about the future.

Do they not understand that the reason people spend money on football, is because they care about it. The reason they care about it, is because it was, for decades a cultural institution. That culture dies a little more every time they name something after University of Phoenix.

Bronko Nagurski would never plow thru a line in anything called, "Quallcom." Stadiums should be named after dead people, war veterans, and candlesticks. Or at least be a college field, like Penn, or Tulane.

What the hell is wrong with the world now? Hats off to Soldier Field, Paul Brown, Lambeau, and Candlestick for not selling out, and retaining their football-real name. And of course, the one, the only-- Louisiana Superdome. Whoever's idea it was to name stadiums stupid corporate names, should be punched in the mouth by Ray Nitschke.

or Mike Curtis, Joe Greene, Doug Atkins even Tommy Myers!!

I have noticed it back in the 80's with the jersey companies (Champion, Russell, Bike, which was no big deal up until recently). Now it has spilled over into stadiums. John Facenda and Harry Kalas are both banging their heads in their graves if the were alive to even spit a verse about "Qualcomm", "Heinz", "Overstock.com", "Mall of America" (which should be called "Jiffy Pop Dome") or any other corporate named stadium being called the "Epic Battle in the Trenches".

Yes! Thank you!
