Or, "Jerry's Palace" might be nice. Yankees... well, I should just not comment being an Angels Fan. But, seriously, it is a bit sad that everything has to have a corporate name - I prefer the team or city/region/state to be in the name. Our stadium in Anaheim will always be The Big A or Angel Stadium to me.

I love that we go to the Georgia Dome to watch the Falcons, not the Delta Dome! I also like when it's named after a important player or coach, like the Dean Dome in Chapel Hill, or The Summit in Tennessee. So maybe the Cowboy's stadium should be called Jerry's playground? i actually love that neither field have some big corporate sponsor name. it reminds the fans and the players that going to a game is about the team that plays there NOT the corporation that gave them most money.
