To: abandon
. I think Rudy is hoping that if it does go through, his name will be plastered on at least one of the stadiums.

He'd be wrong. All new stadiums have corporate names (blech!).

Nay, not so: Oriole Park at Camden Yards. (Though who's kidding whom, no one calls it anything other than Camden Yards - which was the name of the land on which the park stands long before the park was built.) Jacobs Field (Cleveland; named for the Indians owners.) The Ballpark at Arlington (the home of the Rangers, and a rather unimaginative name at that, which you might expect from a team who believes spending $250 million for a shortstop will bring the team ERA back down under four - well, A-Rod is earning his pay, all right, but the Rangers' pitching is still the leakiest in the American League...).
