Tom,

3 Com, Monster ... what's in a name?!? Plenty of people still refer to it as "The Stick" and will continue to call it that for quite some time. =) Hell, I didn't even grow up in SF and I still call it "The Stick" ;)

>>Wow, never thought I'd see the day. It just doesn't seem the same... Yet, wasn't it actually named 3Com Park for awhile? I just thought of something, if the Pope does an appearance there again in the future, he will be appearing at Monster Park!

>Yes, it was called 3 Com Park until 2002. Maybe the Beatles will return too? :)

>>>There was once a professional ballpark in San Francisco called “Candlestick Park”. The giants and 49’ers played there. Now only the 49’ers remain. This Sunday the park will be renamed “Monster Park”. Somehow I get the impression that money is everything.

>>>Having your ball park renamed every few years to the highest bidder seems incomprehensible! Oh well, this is the real world and anything for a buck!
>>>
>>>This is a great name and just in time for Halloween too!

>>>I can hardly wait to see the 49’ers loose another game. I expect they will have a perfect season this year - 0-14
