Ridiculous. :rolleyes:

Nothing that comes from the lesser half of the state ever really surprises me that much. Dimrods.

Come on 49ers, make up your mind on naming rights on your stadiums. Jeez.

First, Candlestick Park. Then, 3Com Park. Third, Candlestick Park again. Fourth, 49ers Stadium. Fifth, Candlestick Park for the 3rd time. And now, Monster Park?! Name it Joe Montana Park, or something more creative.

They could call it Mordor Park for all I care. It will ALWAYS be Candlestick park to me.

One of the reasons: Bad ownership from John York. Eddie Debartolo Jr. was a great owner and the Debartolos were great football minds.

Well, at least it's better than being named Insight.com Park or something-at least Monster Park sounds like it could be a stadium name. Ridiculous is right, though-it'll always be Candlestick to most people.

[PlsDontTearDownY.S.]

I could think of about 20 corporate named parks that are worse than that. At least it's not Monster.net park. This is why I respect the Chicago Bears so much, even though I'm a Jet fan...they told the corporations to stick the naming rights up their a** when Soldier Field was renovated. Good for them.

That is the only reason BB55, John York is killing the team and the 49ers will be on a fire sale soon for new owners.


What make me so mad is how Corprations selling there names to sports stadiums, do something else with your name and leave sports alone.

It worked for the Cubs. (Wrigley Field)

I can't stand it when they switch to a Corporate name......I think they lose their identity. :rolleyes: :uhh:
