I think about this a lot as a Boston guy who never got to experience the old Boston Garden. They tore it down, rebuilt it, and on the other end, we got the FleetCenter—now TD Garden. Why keep the name Boston Garden? Nothing captures the rich history of a city like Boston quite like a retail bank.
And we think it’s bad now? Just wait 30 years. We’ll be reminiscing about the good old days—when players only had one insurance company patch on their sleeve and there was just a single Bud Light logo projected onto the pitcher’s mound by the TV broadcast during a baseball game.
Tiger Stadium is the one that gets me. I was so upset when it got torn down. Recently I went to a Red Sox game at Fenway Park and learned that it opened the same year as Tiger Stadium (1912). Fenway had the money put into it for preservation and renovation. Detroit could have done that too and had something that was awesome. But no, instead we have Comerica Park (what is a comerica?) that has no soul. It’s nice enough but you could be in Nationals Park in Washington for all you could tell.
I call the Sacramento Kings new arena "Arco." I repeat....totally different arena. 😂
So many names to follow due to the constant changes. If it becomes tiring for fans to remember, then you know MLB has a problem. Good points.
It will always be Yankee Stadium
We were just talking about this on Sunday on the way to the game- it will always be Miller Park to us.

I grew up in Philly. The Vet was a piece of shit but it was our piece of shit.

Yeah, well, I’m still pining for County Stadium, so take that. And Wrigley, where do you think that name comes from?
