Craig 6670 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Yeah I knew it had become O2, but I wasn't sure if they'd retained / replaced the sponsorship deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke 2 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 It's become increasingly popular, which I think is unfortunate. Grounds have more character if they're given a proper name. If it must be done though I hope other teams follow Southampton's lead - it may be the "Friend's Provident St Mary's Stadium" but everyone (including, crucially, the media) just calls it St Mary's. Are they doing a similar thing with Arsenal? i.e. the Emerates Ashburton Grove stadium? I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver Broncos traditional Mile High Stadium is now known as Invesco Field at Mile High. Which is better than the 49ers who have lost their traditional Candlestick Park stadium name to the ridiculous 'Monster Park'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
