>>>Professional teams are interesting. Our Giants baseball team park just had a change of name as of today. It was Pac Bell Park and is now SBC Park. SBC bought Pacific Bell. I am waiting for someone to buy SBC. :)

>>The arena where the Flyers and 76ers play started out as the Comcast Center, because Comcast owned it. First Union bought Comcast, so it became the First Union Center, known locally as "the Center" or "the F. U. Center." Wachovia has now acquired First Union, so the name has changed again to the Wachovia Center. I'm hoping "the W.C." catches on for a nickname. <g>

>I'm sure it will. There is some stadium or arena [in Arizona? Phoenix?] that has a sponsor like Pepsi or somesuch so that the nickname boils down to "The Can"

??? Not that I can think of. We do have "The BOB" (Bank One Ballpark)
