You notice that Barack called it "Mile High Stadium" instead of "Invesco Center at Mile High"?

1. Yes, I definitely noticed that and appreciated it

2. Plus he is connecting with people of Colorado

Who still call it Mile High.

3. Hell yeah he did! I noticed it the instant he said it!

Reaching out to us Coloradans who hated the decision to give the Broncos' new stadium such a cold, creepy corporate name! :woohoo:

The name of the stadium is, and always will be, Mile High Stadium! Way to go, Barack!

7. I hate creepy corporate names for arenas and stadiums.

I also hate that half-times and football commentaries are sponsored.

[kansasblue]

13. I hate the scrolling banner on side line tables at college basketball games.

And buses with big ad banners. It's like everyone's a whore.

Some day my church service will have a corporate sponsor with a commercials.

I liked it better when Stadiums where named after people who did something great to deserve the Honor of having a building named after them
