The Cardinal's stadium is now and for the next twenty years will be known as 'You Pee Stadium'.

http://www.azcentral.com/sports/spec...ts0926-CP.html


I don't give two figs about football or the Cardinals, but cripes, this crap is embarrassing. Is that the best they could do? What a joke. Pink Taco Stadium is sounding better and better.

Even the newscasters this morning were miffed about it and didn't bother to hide their true feelings. The chopper guy that was over the stadium was rolling his eyes and refused to even talk about it.

It's actually going to be the University of Phoenix Stadium.

I just made up the You Pee part.

But still, seems lame to me. Since UofP isn't a REAL university they had to buy a stadium? LOL. They say they are trying to "lend more credibility to the students who earn degrees from here". HA HA. Okay buddy. Why not name it the Art Institute of Phoenix Stadium or Universal Techinical Institute Stadium. WHAT A JOKE!

Al Collins Graphic Design School Stadium. *snort*

Asked if he has any preferences for the inevitable acronyms for the 11-syllable new stadium name - the former Bank One Ballpark will forever be known by many Diamondbacks fans as BOB - Bidwill said, "It's going to be called University of Phoenix Stadium."

Oh you have got to be kidding me? In a world where we abreviate everything, you would have thought that UP Stadium would have been one of the first things to come to someone's mind. Oh well, the Cardinals started to take a step forward and then get slapped back by UP Stadium.

I think they should have let "Pink Taco" be a sponsor, but look for a dual sponsorship.

I think it should be called "Chase Pink Taco"!

That is very retarded.....
I heard this on the news this morning, only thing that came to mind is that it isnt a "university" stadium, we already have one of those. I think another bank should have bought the name. You cant even call it UPS for obvious reasons. UP Stadium is plain stupid....

I guess that's bad, but look up C.O.N.D.O.M


College of Notre Dame of Maryland


Not sure if it still is, but it used to be an all girl's school and had quite a funny catch phrase.

Crazy thing is they finally got away from "The College" and now are naming it after a "college".... what a joke.

"Chase Pink Taco" would have been cool!
