lol...hey I'm not a big fan of Rogers...and just for the record I don't think that Rogers Centre sounds all that great either...BUT - I just don't think it's that big of a deal, besides - they are not TEARING DOWNT HE BUILDING Jayx1 - just renaming it lol

Either way - They paid for the property rights and it's theirs, so they have the right to rename it. But I really don't think it's that big of a deal really anyway.

Thats because sadly you have no pride in your city.

I heard reports that the TTC is thinking about selling its naming rights to the highest bidder.

Imagine saying "im riding the Telus train" home tonight.

Well clearly you're just anti-corporate kinda person.

I don't care what the train is called personally it's still the same train. Nowadays they're painting them and the busses with different ads anyway - what's the difference?!

And by the way while we're at it...maybe if TTC were running it's business a little better...and those who handle finances at the municipal and provinicial and federal level were competent...and planners would have planned properly rather than put the money in their pockets we wouldn't have had these problems

Yea I don't think its that big a deal when it comes to public transport being hoarded by corporate names... But public transport doesn't exactly have a "landmark" feel to it like the Skydome does.

Originally posted by Jayx1 My rogers contract is up for renewal in April. I think i shall be cancelling it in protest. Im serious too. Our greatest source of power is how we spend our dollar. Screw them

And wtf do you care? they could've renamed it to Phat Mama's Centre, for all I care, since I hardly even visited that place (except for an autoshow every year or two). Who cares?!

Get a life, worry about things that actually matter... if that really mattered to you, go save up enough money and buy off the rights to it, and rename it back to SkyDome or whatever the hell you want to call it.

There's really no point in complaining...

But at the same time i think respect for culture should be shown.
