Renaming Stadiums Mid Season

So the Cardinals are rolling into Miami tonight and I read earlier today that they were going to be playing at Landshark Stadium. I honestly thought it was the author playing with the Dolphin Stadium name since it is not on the water.

Nope, as it turns out, the name was officially changed. I googled it and there were a couple of stories on it. So I guess it was not a complete mystery to others like it was to me.

So are we at the point now where stadiums will be renamed each year? This deal with Jimmy Buffet will go through the end of the 2009 football season. Buffet is behind the Landshark beer so that just adds to the beer companies holding naming rights to stadiums: Busch Stadium, Coors Field, Miller Park.

Anyone want to get a group together, albeit a large group, to buy naming rights to a stadium for a year? Maybe if we all pony up $10 we can come up with a crazy name that the stadium would have to be called.

Thoughts on the name?
