    I think it may not be worth as much because the Wrigley Field name is so steeped in tradition and fans are used to and love the name. If naming rights are purchased, I don't think fans will refer to it by its corporate name.

    I'm sure they'll do something like Denver with Invesco Field at Mile High.

    Uh, I believe it's named after a person, just like the gum company.

    Yeah, just like Turner Field is named after Ted and not Turner Broadcasting.

    Well, that's one thing he didn't slap: His name on a stadium.

    Well done, ondeadline. I was hoping someone would crush that softball I lobbed up.
