Don’t care who buys it, or if it’s been demolished or moved or replaced or whatever. It’s still Mile High Stadium.

Facebook to Meta at least makes sense. They didn't change the product name; they just separated the company running the website from the website. And I mean, let's be real... Facebook is a stupid name for a conglomerate.
Facebook doesn't even let you do what it was originally intended for. Judging other people's worth solely on looks.
It's still called "the Gulf of Mexico."
Some dumb bully gave it a dumb nickname and they're acting like he legally changed it's birth certificate.
What did I miss? I haven't heard anything about a new name.
Trump tried to rename the gulf of Mexico to the gulf of America.
What a fuckwad
Sears Tower
I came here specifically to comment this. Not even a Chicagoan but it will always be Sears Tower. I don't give a shit who owns the naming rights.
But you did at one point.
Yeah it’s funny the nostalgia that gets attached to the old sponsor. But I think it’s because you forget the company. Nobody gives a shit about Sears anymore so I think it’s one of the best examples. It’s just what people call it, and refusing the new name isn’t defending Sears’ honor, it’s taking a stand and claiming practical ownership over something in your community. It’s eschewing the idea that someone’s virtual monetary exchange that’s represented on a couple of spreadsheets and in a bunch of ~~advertisements~~ news articles somehow matters more than what the actual people call something
You forgot Couch Fucker.
We all forgot couch fucker because they've made him sit quietly in the corner since the vp debate.
He must be seething over Elon taking his position.
"Shut your fucking face, sofa fucker!
You're an armrest-biting bastard, sofa fucker!"
what's Heinz field
Apparently Acrisure Stadium in Pennsylvania.
Here I was thinking someone renamed an obscure physics thing I didn't know about.
If someone calls it X I’ll call it twitter but if somebody still is on there calling it Twitter then I’ll insist on calling it X. You can’t fool yourself, you are still on Elon Musk’s X.

For my yinzers: Carnegie Science Center

is it no longer called that
No, it's now Daniel G. and Carole L. Kamin Science Center after they made a $65mil donation last year.
How about the Tappan Zee bridge in NYC?
What are they trying to call it?
I think they renamed it after Mario Cuomo?
Shea stadium.
You know, I was going to shit on you because it was a completely different stadium. But then I realized I often call the new home of the NY Giants Giants Stadium.
Right? Like, in my heart, the Mets play at Shea. They can put the stadium on the frigging moon, the Mets play at Shea!
Skydome.
Golf or rat penis?
