We had the Ballpark in Arlington, until this year. Now it is Ameriquest Field. Check this out...the name change was apparently retroactive:

Also look under "Brief History." It tells when the ballpark was named, but doesn't say what it was named.

Oops...I found a couple of references to "The Ballpark" on the page. I'll send them an email, so they can erase the past.

Hope your day gets better. :)
