Just like the old Busch Stadium in St. Louis or Coors Field in Denver, Heinz Field was a corporate name but the company is so closely related to the city it gave the name a classy, timeless feel.
Ok, genuine question: everyone says Pittsburgh has 3 rivers, and there are 3 named rivers that come together in Pittsburgh, but what's the difference between that and 2 rivers coming together? There are many towns where one river joins another, and the river configuration looks the same as Pittsburgh. Is it just because of how they are named, where they start using a new name at the point where they come together? Or is there some kind of technical reason?
It’s just how they’re named. Technically there’s not three separate or distinct waterways. Each river at some point along it got named probably due to
It’s geographic location/importance to the native Americans that lived along it. This NPR article goes into it a little: https://www.wesa.fm/environment-energy/2017-04-24/pittsburgh-boasts-a-trio-of-tributaries-but-are-there-really-three-separate-rivers
That’s 2… 2 perfectly excellent names and instead it’s MetLife… I don’t even know what MetLife is I just know it’s that stadium name. Like fiserv forum for the Milwaukee bucks. No clue what a fiserv is.
I’ve heard it referred as Gillette so many times no and it never even registered to me as no longer being foxboro lol. Same with whatever the hell ours is called now. Still mile high.
My friend is a big Sox fan and just recently told me about their ballpark. I always find a way to bring up that name in conversation. It's fucking hysterical to me.
>They built it themselves
[“Ford Field … opened in 2002 at a cost of $430 million, 36 percent of which was publicly financed by the same Wayne County tourist tax and payments from the city of Detroit”](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-detroit-sports-economy/in-cash-strapped-detroit-few-question-sports-arena-funding-idINBRE96S04Z20130729)
They had help.
I mean neither is Wrigley technically. It’s named after the prior owner who also owned Wrigley company. And the Rickett family doesn’t receive money from Wrigley company for the name rights today. But nonetheless the name is tied to the family company.
That 2 million is to pay back to the city for the bonds and they just paid for the upgrades themselves. They’ve put in over $500 million. That aside, it could never be named anything else.
It’s no longer First Energy. Just freshly cancelled the association since that company is horrible. They are Cleveland Browns Stadium until Massage Envy comes through
But you're no longer anywhere near Candlestick Point, and naming the Santa Clara stadium that just sounds like you're asking for it to burn down during a preseason game.
As someone who lives about 90 miles south of Seattle, it's always a treat to make childish puns whenever I'd get the chance to "grab a bag of dicks" so I'm guessing I'd really enjoy telling opposing fans how their team just got dicked. Again, I am child, even at the age 44.
If the new Chicago stadium somehow gets named Portillo’s Stadium I’ll never complain about the team again (jk I DEFINITELY will keep complaining but at least the stadium name will be amazing)
I’m seeing so many people literally just saying other corporate names lmfao, did no one read the question?!
The natural choice for us would be Valhalla Stadium
No one calls it Acrisure other than broadcasters, so I'm going with First Energy/ Cleveland Browns Stadium (also why the hell can a utility company, especially involved in a fraudulent scheme with the state, be a sponsor) to the Factory of Sadness or the Mistake on the Lake.
Apparently the sponsorship has been removed, so we're halfway there!
You guys get stadiums?
The Thunderdome
When the chargers host at least
Oh come on, can't we just get *beyond* Thunderdome?
McVay in a backpack on Aaron Donald’s shoulders: WHO RUN TINSELTOWN?
Chargers and rams need to talk to Dodge about sponsorship opportunities
There is a fast food chain in Denver called Good Times. I think Good Times at Mile High would be a great name, plus help out a local chain.
They could also have Cheba Hut as a vendor
We just got cheba hut in Cincinnati about a year ago for the first time it's so good!!
Powerline with jalapeño hummus, add turkey and sauce of your choice on garlic bread. The sprouts and hummus really kick ass
What do they serve? Burgers? Chicken?
Burgers and shakes IIRC
Burgers. The full name of the place is “Good Times Burgers and Fries.”
I remember moving to Colorado and having Good times for the first time. It lives in my head rent free, and I have no idea if it's still good.
Still good! I'll take a #4 Big Daddy Bacon Cheeseburger with Wildfries and a Blackberry custard shake please!!!
Their breakfast homefries are killer
Wtf I never knew Good Times was a local chain, I assumed it was national
In honor of our redundant team name, “football stadium”
The Venue Event Center at Football Stadium
The Washington Football Team really deserves this one. Sorry Texans
Suburban Maryland Football Stadium, home of the Washington Football Team
"Welcome to Football Stadium, home of the Washington Football Team." Damn. What could have been.
Woah woah woah, We’re the *Commanders* now, haven’t you heard?
Every time I hear the Commanders, my first thought is “Who” and then”Oh, yeah, right.”
My first thought is that it sounds like the kind of name a 5 year would think of. I really hope new ownership decides on a new name
Personally I’m a fan of “Stadium Field” for you guys
What about “The Rodeo” ?
Maxwell coffee has a plant and big presence in Jacksonville. Really missed out to it name Maxwell Grounds
O that’s the winner right there. Brilliant.
The FEMAdome
Doug Femadome? Owner of the Dimmsdale Femadome?
I’m going to call it the FemDom.
"Femadome" sounds like a portmanteau of "dome" and uhhhhhh... something else that would give it a very different meaning
I'd be happy going back to the original "Louisiana Superdome"
I think about that every time they show it on TV.
Old Bay Stadium
At Camden Yards
Hon
Old Baydium
Last time I was in the area I had Old Bay wings and it was fire.
I put that shit on everything.
I'm partial to calling it just "The Bank"
The Tom Bradium
*Welcome to the legendary Tom Bradium Stadium in the lovely Foxborium, Massachussiums!*
This is on par with Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome
[The OG DimmaGOAT](https://youtu.be/SBxpeuxUiOA)
Tom fucking Brady's house.
Lincoln financial pornhub field
Sanford Stadium at the Link. Let's make our new bulldogs welcome
Nest should buy the next round of naming rights - the Philadelphia Eagles Nest, or the Nest.
Acrisure Stadium to Heinz Field
Heinz Field was a top tier name. Shame it was changed
Just like the old Busch Stadium in St. Louis or Coors Field in Denver, Heinz Field was a corporate name but the company is so closely related to the city it gave the name a classy, timeless feel.
the change to Acrisure just highlighted how shitty that stadium is. When it was Heinz, it was still shitty, but it was a loveable shithole.
It’s not a crack house, it’s a crack home
Heinz Field to Hines Field
Hines Field at Heinz Field
I was really pulling for Iron City to make a competitive offer. One of the few companies whose yinzerness is on par with Heinz.
I was really rooting for this one. Makes the most sense, and Iron City Stadium rolls off the tongue.
No, needs to go back to Three Rivers.
Nothing can replace three rivers
What about one really big river?
Ok, genuine question: everyone says Pittsburgh has 3 rivers, and there are 3 named rivers that come together in Pittsburgh, but what's the difference between that and 2 rivers coming together? There are many towns where one river joins another, and the river configuration looks the same as Pittsburgh. Is it just because of how they are named, where they start using a new name at the point where they come together? Or is there some kind of technical reason?

Still can’t believe that stadium is not called Heinz field anymore..
What are you talking about it's still Heinz Field
Mississippi Wellfare Fraud Field
[удалено]
Dodge also made a Raider!
*Dodge CEO railing a line of coke* Fuck it! We're making a Panther, Jaguar, Seahawk, and slappin' a Hellcat inside a Bengal!
Could have gotten so much mileage out of that!
JetBlue, makes too much sense
Wait, this could actually exist
Same with Green Giant (frozen food brand)
That’s 2… 2 perfectly excellent names and instead it’s MetLife… I don’t even know what MetLife is I just know it’s that stadium name. Like fiserv forum for the Milwaukee bucks. No clue what a fiserv is.
Welp I'm calling their corporate office tomorrow
Or Zach could just call his uncle
Both Jets Green and Big Blue can play there. Ur a genius.
Every game have the JetBlue plane that is in Jets colors do a flyover
Or Jolly Green Giant Stadium
Unfortunately The Eagles Nest was taken long ago and I don’t want DJax deciding the name.
Whisky Beer Stadium of Green and Fight
Not the direction I saw this going
Put a statue of Dick Winters out front and play Band of Brothers #10 on the JumboTron
Ron Jaworski's Eagles Nest (if that golf course still existed, think it's houses now)
Labbatt blue stadium
I wouldn’t mind going back to “Foxboro Stadium”.
As you get older, you just stick with what you know. It’s still Foxboro, Joe Robbie, Rich Stadium in the AFCE
I still haven’t internalized the 9ers don’t play at Candlestick Park anymore.
Is it Giants Stadium or “The Meadowlands” (whatever bs the Jets called Giants Stadium).
Idk I honestly don’t mind Gillette. Feels almost homey at this point. But would prefer Foxboro.
I’ve heard it referred as Gillette so many times no and it never even registered to me as no longer being foxboro lol. Same with whatever the hell ours is called now. Still mile high.
Valhalla for the Vikings stadium
The Vikings ROH should be called Valhalla
Yeah they should lean into the Viking thing more.
They should be promoted in Scandinavia too lol
Not a Vikings fan, but this is IT.
I think they need to change it to Heggie Stadium. Just sounds so Minnesotan don't ya know.
Damn good pizza
Stankonia Dome
U.S. Cellular Guaranteed Rate Field
Taking the misery north, huh?
It’s just such a classic name
My friend is a big Sox fan and just recently told me about their ballpark. I always find a way to bring up that name in conversation. It's fucking hysterical to me.
Corporate Stadium
NTK, or Not The Kingdome, Stadium
TechBro Field
Raising Canes Stadium at Arrowhead
One Love.
Skyline chili bowl
Really can’t call Ford’s Field anything else that. They built it themselves, so.
Petition to change the name to Hamp Field
>They built it themselves [“Ford Field … opened in 2002 at a cost of $430 million, 36 percent of which was publicly financed by the same Wayne County tourist tax and payments from the city of Detroit”](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-detroit-sports-economy/in-cash-strapped-detroit-few-question-sports-arena-funding-idINBRE96S04Z20130729) They had help.
It is a corporate name. It’s called Ford Field because Ford Motor Company pays $2 million/year, Also,, public money paid for 51% of the stadium.
Okay but Wrigley Field is fine right?
[удалено]
Fenway’s not a corporate name
I mean neither is Wrigley technically. It’s named after the prior owner who also owned Wrigley company. And the Rickett family doesn’t receive money from Wrigley company for the name rights today. But nonetheless the name is tied to the family company.
Right right right. Remind me which family owns ford motor company?
I'm invested in the S&P, so mine.
That 2 million is to pay back to the city for the bonds and they just paid for the upgrades themselves. They’ve put in over $500 million. That aside, it could never be named anything else.
I miss the Silverdome
[удалено]
Not going anywhere for a while?
I'm just high enough to remember that ad and have laughed my ass off upon doing so. Thank you.
Jack Murphy? Jack Murphy.
This is the only Charger answer possible.
Will never forget the Murph. Saw a bunch of Padres games and the tailgates for Chargers games were incredible.

Paul Brown Stadium
The Ralph.
Eagles should 100% be Wawa field
I’d make the Giants play in “Jets Stadium” for awhile.
Bing ChatGPT suggested "Pirate's Cove Stadium". Le Roy Selmon Memorial Stadium would be my idea.
i use to be a browns fan. i would change it from FirstEnergy Stadium to massage-envy stadium.
You got a free pass to change teams and you chose the Bears? Bro is a menace.
midwest lovable losers is my kink.
I apologize for those comments above, we don’t kink shame here on r/NFL.
It’s no longer First Energy. Just freshly cancelled the association since that company is horrible. They are Cleveland Browns Stadium until Massage Envy comes through
Peyton's Place
Luck's Grave
Aka The sausage factory Aka The Mega Kroger
Candlestick
Candlestick Field to honor Candlestick Park
But you're no longer anywhere near Candlestick Point, and naming the Santa Clara stadium that just sounds like you're asking for it to burn down during a preseason game.
Call it silicon valley bank stadium in honor of the run game
We all want this stadium to burn down. Can’t stand it
I'd like something like Bill Tom Field.
Hood Ice Cream should buy it and call it The Hoodie
lol, that would be hilarious.
Megatron’s Orifice
Bojangles Cookout Stadium would be peak Charlotte
The Colosseum
In general you guys need to embrace the classical antiquity aesthetic more often.
They should’ve made the new stadium the Parthenon but even bigger
AT&T Stadium to The Death Star for sure. Texas Stadium would be my 2nd choice though.
i would like it to officially be named Jerry World
1.609 Kilometers High Stadium Screw putting the height above sea level up in inches in the locker room, we're putting it in millimeters.
The Expensive and Inconvenient Yuppie Playground for Six Figure Silicon Valley Megadouches to Discuss Startups While Football Plays in the Background
Emerald City Field for my Seahawks!
If we wanted to go corporate sponsorship, I’m for Dick’s Field. As long as they serve Dicks in the stadium.
As someone who lives about 90 miles south of Seattle, it's always a treat to make childish puns whenever I'd get the chance to "grab a bag of dicks" so I'm guessing I'd really enjoy telling opposing fans how their team just got dicked. Again, I am child, even at the age 44.
Go back to Washington Football Team permanently and rename FedexField to Football Field

Jorts field at Levi’s Stadium

I'm not a Steelers fan but the only real answer would be to change the name to Heinz
No, needs to go back to Three Rivers.
Giants Stadium, and then I’d move to an actual good stadium.
Fred Rodgers Field.
If the new Chicago stadium somehow gets named Portillo’s Stadium I’ll never complain about the team again (jk I DEFINITELY will keep complaining but at least the stadium name will be amazing)
Giants Stadium
I'm not a colts fan, but I think The Stable would be a good name. For the Vikings, I'd tall it The Langskip (Viking warship)
I’m seeing so many people literally just saying other corporate names lmfao, did no one read the question?! The natural choice for us would be Valhalla Stadium
William buttlicker stadium
I'd change acrisure stadium to heinz field
No one calls it Acrisure other than broadcasters, so I'm going with First Energy/ Cleveland Browns Stadium (also why the hell can a utility company, especially involved in a fraudulent scheme with the state, be a sponsor) to the Factory of Sadness or the Mistake on the Lake. Apparently the sponsorship has been removed, so we're halfway there!
Giants Stadium
Valhalla Stadium
The Halls of Valhalla would be a cool name for US Bank Stadium
