  • Is This Not the Stupidest Thing You've Ever Seen?

    Salt Lake City's "Delta Center" is now "Energy Solutions Arena." From an airline to a radioactive landfill. Ugh.

        I think corporate sponsorship is tacky. I see the point. Bucks. It's still tacky.

                      Corporately named stadia are a harsh, but necessary commercial imperative these days, but the Allianz Arena itself is considered one of the finest stadia in Europe.



                      Looks a little daft from the outside though, IMO. Like a giant boiled sweet.

                        Yeah, no prob, I just don't like the name, and the general tendency (necessary or not).

                            That's because cricket sucks so bad the corporations don't want to attach their names to it.

                              No, they attach their names to it whenever they can ("Natwest Series," "Benson & Hedges Tournament," etc.), it's just that their grubby hands have been kept off our stadiums.
