	I know there will probably be some argument about Wrigley Field and the like so I'm going to address that first. Wrigley field was named after the Cubs' owner William Wrigley, Jr. and not after the Wrigley corporation. I know this is debatable. A contrasting example would be the Roger Centre which was named after Rogers Communications after they purchased the stadium, and not after Edward S. Rogers, Sr. who started the corporation.

	Let me know if I missed any stadiums or any commonly used nicknames as the only source I had to go off was Wikipedia.

	Great quiz. It definitely doesn't sound like it, but Great American Ballpark is actually sponsored by Great American Insurance Group.

	Mall of America Field at the Metrodome has sold naming rights for the field only.

	How did you decide that Turner Field is named for the man and not the company, and that Ford Field is named for the company and not the man (or the family in this case)?

	This quiz also includes stadiums where the naming rights have expired and not been replaced.

	Busch Stadium II (1960s-2005) was named for the owner; Busch Stadium III (2006-present) sold naming rights. I assume that is the standard he used.

	what raymond james stadium for the buccaneers

	@jacobj Raymond James Financial (based in St. Petersburg) pays for the naming rights to the stadium up until the year 2015

	@AdmiralMaxtreme: Good catch. I completely glossed that one over when I made the quiz. Its fixed now.

	@dtmich Ford pays $40 million dollars a year for the naming rights to Ford Field. By contrast, Turner field is named after Ted Turner and none of Ted Turner's corporate endeavors pays money for those naming rights. Hope that clears it up.

	Crap. I would have never guessed some of these like the Rose Garden. But then again I hate the NBA so I guess that makes sense.

	herlihya:	Nov 2nd, 2010 at 06:19 GMT		0 points
	Ralph Wilson Stadium is often referred to as just "The Ralph". Also, maybe accept "The Garden" for Madison Square Garden as that is what everyone in New York refers to it as.

	thestorm80:	Nov 2nd, 2010 at 06:22 GMT		2 points
	@herlihya: Yeah I noticed that "the Ralph" was a decently common nickname. The problem is when you create the quiz and put "The Ralph" as an alternate answer, the answer comes up if you just type in "Ralph", which makes it too generic. And the reason I didn't put "The Garden" as an alternate answer is because the "Rose Garden" in Portland is also referred to as just "The Garden".

	i thought the vikings technically played at mall of america field

	thestorm80:	Nov 2nd, 2010 at 06:32 GMT		1 point
	@gopokes: I tried to only include the entire venue as the answer. The Metrodome would still be the actual "venue" of the Vikings. Things like that do make it a little tricky though.

	AdmiralMaxtreme:	Nov 2nd, 2010 at 16:00 GMT		2 points
	I'm not too sure on the specifics, but following the Metrodome example, wouldn't Invesco Field at Mile High be a similar situation?

	thestorm80:	Nov 3rd, 2010 at 06:23 GMT		3 points
	@AdmiralMaxtreme: The reason I didn't include "Invesco Field at Mile High" is because I thought "Invesco Field" (A la Lambeau Field) was the venue and the attachment of "at Mile High" was merely a way to satisfy Denver taxpayers. With the Metrodome, only the actual football playing field is named after Mall of America, and when the Twins were playing there, the baseball field was not named, so I figured that the Metrodome itself (no corporate name) was the venue.

	That does clear up my question, thanks.

	The Oakland Coliseum has been renamed the 'O.co Coliseum', which is a marketing thing from Overstock.com. And the argument could be made that Wrigley Field was a marketing move by Philip Wrigley, to add name recognition to his chewing gum empire.
