Man, that could easily be the worst name for a sports field/arena/stadium etc. I've ever heard in my life.

I had seen the Yum Center on tv many times, drove past it. For the 1st few years, I kept asking myself how could a company that primarily sells (plastic) fishing baits get a return on this? I mean is there that many bass fishermen in L-Ville area? Then I realized it was an outfit that owned all sorts of fast food chains.

I am guessing 4/5 people make no connection to fast food.

This name change means that NIU will not be the first to play college football in the Cell. Guess all that marketing/advertising will need to change now.

That kind of grates on me.

Apparently, it is no longer enough to have your corporation's name on a field. You actually need to have your slogan on the field. I see where this can go.

AT&T Park will become Mobilizing Your World Park
Ford Field will become Everything We Do Is Driven By You Field
University of Phoenix Stadium will become Career Focused Education Stadium
Busch Stadium will become Head For The Mountains Stadium

Oh I'm pretty sure Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento (previously Power Balance Pavilion a scam based on holograms) and Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix are far worse. and don't forget Florida Atlantic University's stadium, GEO Group is named after a prison, literally.

...oh and theres always Amway Stadium. which is also literally a scam.
