| Well I'm a Yankees fan, but we need at least one team here in Canada so I'd like to see the Jays at least survive. But this is an atrocious name. I can't stand how new buildings are named after sponsors. The Montreal Canadiens' new arena should have been called Forum II. Rogers Centre? That's not even a baseball park name! That Rogers is a pompous idiot. Under his ownership, the Blue Jays will continue to be a joke. They increased their payroll for the next three years, but couldn't keep their ONLY franchise player (Delgado)?? |

jayx1, get a ing grip....
stop comparing a sports venue with landmarks like the CN Tower and the Eiffel Tower, let alone the Louvre or the Empire State Building....
the SkyDome is a sporting venue, will be razed within 50 years, and is hardly recognizeable outside North America....I'm not a fan of the new name (I would have preferred the "Rogers Field" name that was making the rounds earlier today), but the earth isn't about stop spinning because of this....
renaming a sporting venue doesnt pave the way for hsitorical sites to be renamed, so stop acting like thats the case..... |

Rogers who? Never heard of 'em.
C'mon folks, maybe if we all just stop BELIEVING that they exist, they won't exist! |

I actually agree with jayx. Some people in TO are just way too passive.. |
and I think that some people here are just way too concerned about some trivial things, and things that are totally out of their control (and have little or no effect on their life alltogether).
SkyDome was a blackhole when it came to money, and if someone actually invested some $$$ in it, hell, he deserves to name it whatever the heck he wants... if you don't like it, go file a complaint with a local complaint office. :D I'm sure something will come out of it... one day, or maybe even sooner ;) |

I'll be calling it the Rogers Centre out of respect for a man who has been VERY generous to Toronto over the years with his money. |

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. |
This is just another bitch session for you :rolleyes:
If Rogers was prevented from renaming the Skydome, I'm sure you'd find a way to blame the Liberals...you'd rip them for interfering in the free market or something like that, lol.
Most of us are aware of the sad state of public transit in this city...and now you're saying you'd be upset if they were to seek revenue from the private sector by selling naming rights?
there is simply no pleasing you...I think you just like to complain.
btw...something is worth only what someone else will pay for it...that's basic market economics! |

I agree that it was badly managed.I hope the new owners can improve it..
and 35 million sounds quite cheap, it must be the high running cost :conf: |
