Quote:The company does matter. Who would want to watch games at Publix Stadium? I always hated M&T Bank Stadium, Lucas Oil Stadum, University of Pheonix Stadium, and LP Field as stadium names. I  think EverBank Field is one of the best corporate stadium names in the NFL. However, I do miss the old days when rmost teams did not give companies stadium naming rights.

 

I've always found the "University of Phoenix" Stadium as the most cheesy.  The University of Phoenix is a for-profit online/satellite campus institution which admits anyone with a high school diploma.  They use the stadium name in order to confuse many people into thinking that the impressive stadium is located on the University of Phoenix campus.  In reality, the University of Phoenix campus consists of a couple of office buildings near the airport.  The University of Phoenix doesn't play football at that stadium.  They don't even have a football team!  They don't have any inter-collegiate sports teams!  They bought the naming rights of the stadium in order to trick people into thinking the "university" is something it's not.
