And if I manage to ever buy a ticket to one of those matches, I'll just be giving them more money.
Near where I live we have a concert venue called the Verizon Wireless Virginia Beach Amphitheater. Why on Earth would I wanna go to some place called the Verizon Wireless Virginia Beach Amphitheater? There is no possible way to come up with a shittier name for something than to awkwardly plaster some boring company's name on it. Give us real names with real character or I'm gonna start making napalm in my bath tub.
