Renaming the Sears Tower?

[Chris]

Do you really think this is going to work? In Chicago?

Some people don't think this through. After 30+ years, do you really think ANYBODY is going to start calling it the Willis Tower?

That gets me to these "naming rights" Who cares? Other than a sports announcer on the air, who's going to talk about some building that's paid-for named after a corporation- and give a $hit?

I read that this morning. The Tower formally known as the Sears Tower

 

[gerritm]

I was born and raised just outside Chicago. It is the main landmark on the skyline of Chicago. It will always be the Sear Tower.

Yep, nobody will call it anything but the Sears Tower, what a bunch of jags! We started chuckling about this weeks ago:rofl:

Like the Gazillion dollars that Invesco spent on naming rights in Denver.

Invesco Field at Mile High LOL!! WTF do you think the fans call it?

The high rise projects across the Dan Ryan from Comiskey Park, which it will always be known as, and not Comiskey Field as our numnuts Pres called it the other day, was a snipers paradise during the construction of the new park. Many shots were fired into the field as it was being built. Eventually they tore down the highrises. South side area surronding the park was very bad. You didn't want to get lost going to the park.

Thanks. But I was only making fun of the "Willis tower."
You know, "what chew talkin' 'bout Willis?"....(see fund's post).

Progressive Field is still known as Jacob's Field.....will be for years to come.

Kind of like the St. Pete Times Forum will always be known as the Ice Palace by the locals.
I hate the naming and re-naming of major landmarks.

We'll all yell STOP when someone wants to rename the Statue of Liberty

I always refer to it as Indian's Stadium. Everyone knows what I mean.
