^^^Hey, Duvaldude, I'm a second year season ticket holder, and I sit in the same section as you (216). I had to leave at halftime because my Mom had gotten heat exhaustion. I led her to the first-aid station and the EMS took her to the hospital; She stayed overnight, and got discharged in the morning; She's currently doing just fine.

Im in 216 as well. row J

I really dont blame anyone for leaving in that kinda heat. I felt light headed walking back to my truck after the game.

Sun Life is that Miami's stadium? I thought it was called Dolphins stadium.

It has had many names the last few years. Per wikipedia:

Joe Robbie Stadium (1987â€"1996)
Pro Player Park (1996)
Pro Player Stadium (1996â€"2005)
Dolphins Stadium (2005â€"2006)
Dolphin Stadium (2006â€"2009)
Land Shark Stadium (2009â€"2010).

Everyone Is picking at "Everbank Field". But "SunLife Stadium". I never heard of sunlife insurance until now. And If Im not mistaken, its only like a one or two year deal. It wasnt much. As quiet as it kept, they must be desperate for revenue.

I dont' think anything is as lame as the 1-800-Ask-Gary Ampitheater in Tampa.

^^Or the Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl

It's not that bad. It's a five-year deal, and it is for more $ per year than EverBank (though not by that much as I recall) due to the fact that it's also the Marlins' park and it hosted a Super Bowl. The sillier, more desperate deal was the one-year deal with Landshark for the stadium, which did not include the Super Bowl held that year. It switched from Landshark to Sun Life effective Super Bowl Sunday.

Sun Life is actually a pretty big company, but it has a more authoritative presence in Canada than in the U.S.

I didn't realize people were picking at EverBank as a stadium name. I hadn't heard any of that. I do seem to recall that Arm & Hammer made a bigger bid than Alltel on the past naming rights in the 90s, but was rejected because we refused to call the stadium Clean Shower Stadium.

I also didn't realize that it switched back and forth from Dolphins Stadium to Dolphin Stadium. Maybe after the Sun Life deal ends it can be Dolphined Stadium.

Please tell me you're kidding about Taxslayer.

Sadly, I see that you are not kidding about Taxslayer.

Everbank Field has a nice ring to it actually.

I really like the signage too relative when it was still Alltel.

On the weather Sunday, it was definitely scorching, but nothing compared to opening day last year.

I'll give the college football bowls a pass because they aren't the actual stadium name and are collectively pretty lame (plus no one really cares about the majority of them). Such as: Famous Idaho Potatos Bowl, R+L Carriers Bowl, Macco Bowl, Belk Bow etc. etc.

I have no problems with Everbank Field by the way.

OOOO ok. The Landshark deal was the one I was thinking of!! I knew that had a one year deal with someone at one point.

Don't forget the old Weed Eater Independence Bowl. My objection is more to Taxslayer as a product, I guess, but I'm a heavily biased CPA.

I love the sound of EverBank Field, and not just because I love no longer having to call it JMS or If You Were A Corporation, Your Name Could Be Here Now! Stadium. It also lends itself so nicely to calling it The Vault or DuVault.
