Is it not enough that everywhere I look I am bombarded by advertising? Must I also have to call everything the "Microsoft stop sign" or "the sidewalk brought to me by Clear Channel"? Capitalism is no fun anymore. Stop this crazy thing! Advertising ruins everything. Is it not enough that everywhere I look I am bombarded by advertising?

I wholeheartedly agree that it would be easier to keep track of changes if venues would keep a non-vendor-spcific piece as part of its name.

If so then it's just going back to its roots. As with all other corporate-sponsorship naming deals, I wish that they would keep the actual name of the venue at least partially intact. (Like, instead of the Chick-fil-A Bowl, let's have the Peach Bowl brought to you by Chick-fil-A.) I understand today's marketplace spawns these sponsorships. I just think it's disorienting when the sponsors change. If they had kept the Center Stage name and just had "brought to you by Earthlink" or "The Earthlink Center Stage Theater" then this a future changes would be less confusing. End of rant.
