But I suspect that it will end up being called "The Clink", and that's not too bad.
Too long? Too soon?
But after some thought, I think I'm with Hernandez: I'll call it "Sounders Field" from now on.
Jimi Hendrix Stadium... I like the sound of that!
Nice air conditioning...yum.
Some other thoughts:
Pacific Universal T-something Arena
Qwest Under a New Title
Or we could all collectively decide it's named after a local business we like. Do we like Ivar's? I could get behind calling it Ivar's Field. The Clam, maybe?
This will help all the sloggers with nary a care for the world of Seattle athletics save for kickball.
"Where is Tim tonight?"
"Oh, he's at SPORTS!"
"Pfft, who goes to SPORTS! anymore?"
Or maybe we could call it the Don James Pitch at Seahawks Stadium, just to annoy Mr. James. Didn't he oppose soccer being played at Husky Stadium during the World Cup being held in the US?
The Football Stadium
Taxpayer Teat
Sodo Stadium. Be honest about where it is.
John T. Williams Field. That'll teach 'em.
Yeah, Hendrix Field.
Might as well call it Ray Charles Stadium; at least he came here by choice, and recorded here.
Taxpayers' Park
Awfuckitjusttakemywallet Stadium
Ultimately Fnarf is spot-on, though: so long as there is no "Grammatrain" played, I do not care what it is called.
The Big Vage
The Vulv
Unless you know of a pending merger by Anheiser Busch, my point stands.
Yes, that would be your beloved Seahawks and Sounders. By taking the cash they've forfeited any rights to the name, or goodwill.
But you can also refer to it as the Seattle Football Stadium, since football is soccer in 99.875 pct of the world.
that or the sea-sound lounge.
US + Canada + Australia + New Zealand + South Africa + Ireland + substantial portions of northern England = a hell of a lot more than .125% of the population of the earth. Everybody who is primarily interested in another code of football calls soccer "soccer" to distinguish them. In addition, soccer is well understood and commonly used as an alternate name throughout Asia and Africa.
Here's a tip: don't comment on soccer. Ever. You know NOTHING.
This difference is commonly used by ignoramuses like Will to either demonstrate the gross inferiority of Americans, or their own great familiarity with the ways of the world, but it always demonstrates instead the exact opposite.
A lot of times I turn off the Chrome auto-translate because it gets in the way.
They call it football. U can't help American lack of language skills or travel experience.
As for the stadium, can we go postmodern and call it Seatac Airport?
As for your hilarious assertions @89, you have never successfully managed to use even French correctly here, let alone any other languages or, uh, dialects. Or do you want to try and bring up the "Courts du Palme" episode again?
You're an quasi-literate boob in any tongue, and you're wrong.
I vote for Seattle Football Stadium. But I'm not sure my vote should count, as I live in Portland.
Or are you so out of it you think that people still have iceboxes?
