Stadiums are for football. Baseball gets played in ballparks.

Oh, BiL...before about 1962, Washingtonians watched our ball club at Griffith Stadium. Won three pennants there and a World Series. 

Later, I watched the New Senators in DC Stadium.

I say we let Hebrew Nationals buy the rights.  They can keep the name as is.

BiL is a moron. He's never heard of Yankee Stadium, Tiger Stadium, Dodger Stadium, Kauffman Stadium, Busch Stadium, Shea Stadium, Atlanta Fulton County Stadium, Met Stadium, Riverfront Stadium, Riverfront Stadium, Memorial Stadium, Cleveland Stadium, Qualcomm (Jack Murphy) Stadium, Veteran Stadium or Olympic Stadium.

I'd become a season ticket holder if they also changed the area behind home plate to "The Needledick Suites."

Did you bring binoculars? Back in '86 and after, I took binoculars because, otherwise, you could not see the players' numbers.  The only thing worse looked to be the concrete surfaced ("turf") baseball / football fields places like Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati.

Walgreen's Park at Wegman's Field.

That might work. Something like the cross-country advertising for the "never say die Atlanta Braves" on TNT (?) in the late '80s. They never said "die" because they were already dead...unable to speak.

I like "Nationals Park", which makes the stadium one of the few not named for some bank.

I like it also. I don't like the corporation names for parks, with those I keep forgetting who plays there half the time I have to look it up.

How much are naming rights worth? I wonder who has the rights to sell them, given that the city built the park.

I can't believe there isn't a kickstarter for the people to name the stadium.  Or perhaps change it week to week allowing for multiple streams of income and giving the right of first refusal to those that see multiple wins under their 'ownership' because you don't temp fate right TomTerp?

That may be why there isn't a corporate sponsor

We could change the name every week and honor each of Spinal Tap's drummers.

Yes, those were built when cookie-cutter multi-use stadiums were being built.  Since Camden Yards, we are now going back to the more intimate feel of Parks:  ORIOLE PARK, FENWAY PARK, Great American Baseball Park, PNC PARK, MILLER PARK, ....
