AAMI Stadium .... was it ever called anything else??? I find myself saying ... "tough game at AAMI last week" .... aarghhh ... AAMI is an insurance company and now they host football games in their office buildings by the sounds.
Not objecting to it tho .... happy to have sponsors money supporting out football clubs where would they be without it. Just interesting how accepting we are of it so quickly.
The ABC always make me laugh when they take their non-sponsor thing too far and refuse to use any of the Company names. I think they call the Pura Cup the 'Interstate Cup' or something.
alternatively, I NEVER call ovals by their adopted names, footy park will always be footy park for mine... and Norwood Oval will always be the parade etc...
