How about "The Hairclub for Men Chrome Dome?"

I can hear it now "Welcome to tonight's game with The Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints hosting the Cleveland Browns in the recently
renovated Preparation H Super Dome." ...............................................................
If all else fails keep drinking heavily.

STOPLOL!!!!!!

At least it isn't Kohler.

They'd call it the toilet bowl... or the Bidet Bowl.

It's bad enough that sponsors are slapping their names on all of the college bowl games (some of them literally taking over the bowls, name wise). The Rams dome was named three times. The Dolphins stadium was named four, five times. This is more about money. (Picture this: "Al Copeland Memorial Superdome"/"Al Scramuzza Superdome"/"Schwegmann Dome"/"Popeye's Superdome"/"Royal Sonesta Dome"..... God forbid if it's named the "Katrina Dome", the city would be up in arms carrying AKs and Berettas and flamethrowers.) I hope Mr. Benson takes the Mike Singletary approach: "Can't Do It!"

How about the Lucky Dog Dome... That's what Minnesota calls it anyway.

I'm really surprised by the turnout on this. When I have read comments on letting players go, or signing at league minimums, or releasing players to make room under the cap, depending on which player it is, alot of you guys have been outspoken on "it's a business", and "that's how business works." But the mere mention of selling "a name", that wouldn't effect anything, but what it is called, and maybe put some much needed money into the state, and it's "oh heck no!" I'm just saying.... It's amazing how much people care about an issue that effects them directly, and make it known, but an issue that effects someone else, brings a different attitude entirely. Not trying to start anything here, just an observation.

I say sell the name, make some cash and upgrade or build a new stadium.
It is a business and all it is, is a name.
