Ah, I see your assumption. I don't listen to announcers ;P

Also, I tend to watch very very little American sports. I'm pretty much a die hard English Football fan, and their stadiums have much more interesting names as well as some fun nicknames. The stadiums with corp names tend to be new money/onwers to the clubs. ManCity's Etihad (Emptyhad) comes to mind. Otherwise, "Stampford" Bridge, Old Trafford, Anfield, Goodison Park, St James' Park, Loftus Road, Stadium of Light, any and all much better than Corp$$OfTheSeason.

I am very conveniently ignoring the corp$$ on the jerseys. It doesn't fit my narrative here =)

The only UK stadium I could name is Old Trafford. And Wembley.
Also known as Old Toilet in some circles. Like I said, much more interesting names
