At (Your Name Here) Arena, Money Talks

I still refuse to call our local stadium by it's corporate name: we Indiana taxpayers built it, and I'll call it the Hoosier Dome until it's rubble. If a company wants a stadium to bear their name, may I suggest that they build it!

There is a fast-growing marketplace in which companies craving public recognition and customers vie for the rights to christen arenas and stadiums after themselves.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
