BOOOOOOO...I know that the naming rights are sold to bring in more money, but I hate that such a blue-collar city as Cleveland has sold the names of all three of their pro sports venues to corporations. I see it as selling out.

The Browns can use all the energy they can get! I wonder if it only a matter of time until they sell naming rights to each individual game like they do with college football bowl games? (i.e. Nokia Sugar Bowl) I hope not but i could see it happening.

I'm sorry and no offense Monika, but that is a really stupid name... kind of like Century Link Field and Safeco Field in Seattle... And let's not forget CoAmerica Park in Arlington where the Texas Rangers play. Sigh...

I don't care either way, but it may look like there may be a dome on First Energy Stadium next but if the Super Bowl in New York succeeds...maybe Cleveland could host it without a dome...it's the only way Cleveland will ever encounter a Super Bowl.

It IS a stupid name. What's worse, not long ago First Energy downsized and lots of people in the area lost their jobs.
