Are the days of Wrigley Field, home to the beloved if beleaguered Chicago Cubs, numbered and its ivied walls set for the wrecking ball? Will the bleacher bums suddenly find themselves having to transport themselves into the distant hinterland of suburbia to see their beloved boys of summer? Somehow, tuning in to the radio or television and hearing "Welcome to the friendly confines of GiantMegaCorp Stadium!" just doesn't have the right ring to it when you think of the Chicago Cubs.

I loathe those corporate names for stadiums. I can't call Candlestick Park anything other than Candlestick Park, even though it seems to change names every year.

I understand what you're saying. Commiskey Park in Chicago has some corporate name on the outside - but nobody uses it but the announcers.
