NOPE! not feeling it.

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".
