I told my dad over a year ago that FTX buying stadium naming rights for a bunch of sports leagues (including one of our hometown teams) was like if there had been an Enron Stadium in 2000.

There actually was an Enron Field in Houston in 2000:

> Minute Maid Park, previously named The Ballpark at Union Station, Enron Field, and Astros Field, is a retractable roof stadium in Downtown Houston, Texas, United States. It opened in 2000 as the home ballpark of Major League Baseball's Houston Astros.[1]

(It was named "Enron Field" from 2000 to 2002.)
