I am from Chicago and I will still call it the Sears. My friend told me this morning there are some protests going on over the name change, not from me I have better things to do. Just like Comiskey park is not US Cellular.

I still go to Rich Stadium. :gotme:

They need to hire Gary Coleman as their spokesperson if they want them to succeed.

What about BOB? (Bank One Ballpark)
I was just at the sears tower recently. i think everyone will still call it the sears tower for about 20 years.
People still call the MetLife building the Pan Am building (big building down the road from my last apartment in nyc [the dog got bit in front of this bldg in i am legend])

There are nicer buildings, architecturally, but that is pretty badass. I want to visit Willis Tower someday.

:picard: Paulo of all fucking people makes a thread about a building and it takes 13 posts for that to come up? You guys are slipping.
