Thanks for sharing, Nord Blanc. I like how they seemingly plopped a large advertising sign within the confines, which seems to offset the need for naming rights. Fenway is 'littered' with much the same but it doesn't take away from the feel of the park.

Although Wrigley is named after the gum guy, it's been that name so long that it is something that must stay. Kind of like Ivor Wynne. For many who didn't know who he was until recently, the name itself as it pertains to the person isn't what's important; it's the fact that we have called it Ivor Wynne Stadium for 40 years and there is a certain charm and strength about that name. 'Ivor Wynne'.

There will never be a charm about Pepsi Centre or TD Banknorth Garden. Sponsorship will change and in turn the names of the buildings will change. Kind of like telecommunications companies - "What's that company called again?"
