I am currently watching the Cowboys-Redskins NFL game from AT&T Stadium in Dallas.
Just yesterday (Sunday)--and Saturday, and Friday--I watched the Giants oppose the Royals in AT&T Park in San Francisco.
One need not go all the way back to Ebbets Field (the home of the former Brooklyn Dodgers), Forbes Field (the former home of the Pittsburgh Pirates), or the Polo Grounds (the former home of several professional sports teams), in order to get a certain panache. Even the San Francisco Giants' former home--Candlestick Park--had a much more pleasing ring to the name.
This seems to be the trend nowadays: Stadiums are named for their respective sponsors, rather than for something a bit more appropriate. (The now-defunct RCA Dome, in Indianapolis--the former home of the Indiana Pacers--is another good example of this. Its former name--the Hoosier Dome--seemed much more appropriate for an Indiana-based sports team.)
I suppose this is really not a matter of monumental consequence. But it is mildly irritating...
