Dear Bidders: Don’t Touch The Stadium Name!

   Blue Heaven on Earth, Chavez Ravine, The Ravine…These are all nicknames that Dodger Stadium have that still stands to this day. Dodger Stadium has been the name for the Stadium of your LA Dodgers since 1962. Yesterday a report came out that one of the Bidders asked about the naming rights to Dodger stadium and those who saw it including me were upset that someone even mentioned it. Why would a bidder want to change the name just for a Sponsor? It’s not right.

Bidders to become Dodgers owner. From the Los Angeles Dodgers fan base DO NOT TOUCH THE STADIUM NAME!!   

 Some maybe wondering why am I tripping over the name change. Well Every Baseball fan knows about Dodger Stadium and it’s history.  When you go to Dodger games you saw signs pointing towards Dodger Stadium or saying Welcome to Dodger Stadium and I feel such a change to it just join the marketing hype will make things feel very different. I mean just imagine a Dodger game and as you travel you see “Welcome to Capital One Field” Or when you’re on a tour and you hear it under a different name. It’ll make it feel different.  The Stadium will be there but the name will be different and That will make me and other Dodger fans very unhappy. 

  Dodger Stadium has been the idenity of the Stadium for 50 years and Shouldn’t be touched now or ever.  Just no. Do I believe the name will be changed? No I don’t see it happening now or anythime soon but the mention of it is something that shouldn’t even happen in my opinion. Why change something just for the sake of sponsors and money?  To me and many others Dodger Stadium shouldn’t be touched at all.  

 Who ever the new owner: You can make imoprovements to the Stadium and Parking lots but we ask you Don’t change the Uniforms, Don’t change the Name of the Team, Don’t Move the Stadium or the team and DON’T CHANGE THE STADIUM NAME!!

I’m with you. The thought of someone changing the stadium name makes me ill. Part of what I love about Dodger Stadium is how relatively unchanged it looks walking up the hill to the the stadium gates from the parking lot. It’s an L.A. landmark and I hope whoever buys your team realizes that and leaves the stadium, look and name, alone.

I agree That’s like changing Yankee Stadium and Wrigley Field. It’s apart of the Dodger tradition that we have and stood for years. Tradition over Money and Sponsors.

Rockpile Rant

"D" the Ranter is Colorado's #1 Multi-sport MLBlogger. The Rant is written from a fan's perspective and you can count on "D" to tell you exactly how it is. Tried and Tested...There's a reason the Rant kicks ass in Colorado.

This is a very simple game...

You throw the ball. You catch the ball. You hit the ball...Of course, baseball fans know that this line from Bull Durham is far from true, part of the humor of the movie and a huge part of the fun of the game. This blog is a space to talk about baseball, being a baseball fan, all of those things that make the game fun and the Angels, because they make baseball fun for me.
