'Tis But a name?
Chicago White Sox announce that Comiskey Park will be renamed U.S. Cellular Field. Yet another classic stadium name bites the dust in the name of the almighty dollar. One Hundred years of history replaced for $68 million over 20 years.
Hasn't U.S. Cellular heard about the stadium curse? Should the company get its Chapter 11 papers in line now, in anticipation of joining the likes of United, Conseco, Enron, PSINet, Adelphia, U.S. Air, TWA, etc.?
And now that Ted Turner has announced his departure from AOL Time Warner, how much longer will his name remain atop the stadium of the AOLTW-owned Atlanta Braves?
