Just Jack Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 So that will be the third name change since it was built.

PromoTheRobot Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Ralph gave an inch on the fieldhouse, but I'm sure he won't budge on the big stadium. Fine, but why not name the field? "Geico Field at Ralph Wilson Stadium" has a nice ring. PTR
uticaclub Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 that's what I'm saying. Especially with the new end zones how about labatt blue field and ralph wilson stadium

Chilly Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Sundowner Field® - Where All Your Dreams Come. True. Love it. Every once in a while I'll make a joke about how awesome canadian strip clubs are and the sundowner here in Texas. No one ever gets it, but I enjoy it.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Let me know when they change the stadium back to Rich Stadium.
ganesh Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Let me know when they change the stadium back to Rich Stadium. Another curse.... One thing though..these naming rights have really gone awry....Rich Stadium was so coool.....Now we have stupid names such as M&T Bank Stadium or Invesco Field....Gillette Stadium...crap.... The one I like is Heinz Field...with the Popping Ketchup Bottle pouring Ketchup everytime the Steelers are in the RED zone....Why can't these commerical comapnies come up with cute names the represents them as well as provides a non-drab name.

That could be something to ponder, how about since it is Ralph Wilson Stadium now, they just have several people with big ears steal your money right out of your pocket. As far as selling the naming rights to the Field House, nobody can be surprised, Ralph would sell his own family for a few bucks. Edited June 8, 2011 by billsfreak

Care to make any other astute observations? PTR
Rockinon Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 to fieldhouse Man, you guys are way too serious. Am I the only one who read the thread title and then after clicking on it laughed? Good one OP.
Bills(70) Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Ralph gave an inch on the fieldhouse, but I'm sure he won't budge on the big stadium. Fine, but why not name the field? "Geico Field at Ralph Wilson Stadium" has a nice ring. PTR Where Ralph could save up to 15% by hiring subpar players? And yet the stadium is STILL called Ralph Wilson Stadium. Care to make any other astute observations? PTR I've never called it Ralph Wilson Stadium. Not once. It's always been Rich Stadium to me.

billsfreak Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 And yet the stadium is STILL called Ralph Wilson Stadium. Care to make any other astute observations? PTR OK Genius. What stadium was one of the first in the league to be named after a sponsor? Here is a hint-His name isn't Ralph "Rich" Wilson as far as I know.

As far as selling the naming rights to the Field House, nobody can be surprised, Ralph would sell his own family for a few bucks. He is running a business, isn't he? What's the problem with making money? I don't get the resentment when Ralph cooks up an idea to make money( the Toronto series included). He could have moved the team plenty of times but kept them here. But he is still RUNNING A BUSINESS. And people open busineses to make money. I never knew Ralph ran a non-profit in the Bills. Get a grip. Edited June 8, 2011 by Dopey
