Renaming stadiums.

Fuck that. I thought the Indians organization had some goddamn class. We used to be one of the few cities left in the Midwest without an obnoxious corporately sponsored stadium name. I don't care if the old name was just the result of some other other rich guy paying to put his name on the stadium, at least it wasn't some crass bullshit like PNC Park, or Synergy Field.

Aren't you supposed to actually build a new stadium before you do this shit anyway? At least that's how this usually is supposed to work right? I can't believe I'm saying this but in this instance Cleveland should have tried to be a little more like Pittsburgh, and waited till there was a legitimate reason to give a stadium such a stupid fucking name.

I hope no ever actually calls Jacob's Field by it's new name in any conversation ever. It's Jacobs Field. Actually, fuck that. It's Gateway. I'm going back to calling it Gateway.

i thought the renaming of bowl games was bad enough... i guess i haven't watched an indians game in a few years anyway, but on the radio they say "this field goal was brought to you by xxx" or "another twenty yard return means 100 dollars to charity by xxx co."

that's some minority report shit
