It started out as the Detroit Savings Fund Institute and then The Detroit Savings Bank, The Detroit Bank, and then The Detroit Bank & Trust Company. They didn't change to Comerica until the 1980s. In 2007 they decided to move their headquarters out of Detroit and to Dallas. Okay... I do seem to remember something about when they moved HQ. Being a westsider I'm wasn't familiar at all with them being a Detroit thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious D Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 speaking of naming rights, I was involved with U.S. Cellular, a Chicago-based wireless company, when the Chicago White Sox decided to sell them for Comiskey. At that time, Chicago native, Joan Cusack (Sixteen Candles, School of Rock) was the spokesperson in our advertising campaign. The local sports radio jocks refused to call it U.S. Cellular Field, and instead referred to it as "The Joan." Needless to say, the U.S. Cellular team were not happy. Guaranteed Rate has subsequently purchased the rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMRivdogs Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I don't remember The Joan days for the Sox. It was always "The Cell". Seemed appropriate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I bet if you gave me a list of all the stadium names I would miss 1/3 of them if I had to match to the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) T-Mobile Park in Seattle(Safeco Field), American Family Field in Milwaukee(Miller Park) and Oracle Park in San Fran(Att Park) are three more that I still call by their former names.

I actually thought after Texas moved into their grill. I think I would struggle to get to half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jz68 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I'd be happy if it just went to being called Meijer Park. Much rather have it be named after a Michigan tradition than a bank. If corporations weren't able to sponsor anymore, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be Tiger Stadium again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was 69 years ago at Briggs Stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Maybe we can sell the team to a group of investors led by Tiger Woods and he will decide to name the stadium after himself so we can get Tiger Stadium back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this idea. But go the next step and plant a row or two of trees all the way around the park and then you have the "Tiger Woods." Perfert. We need to get our people on the phone to his people.

I have no idea if it was just a joke with my dad or if there were other people that weren't big on calling it 'Briggs' but he mostly continued to call the ballpark 'Navin' field so I always knew that name.
