PNC is the best ballpark in baseball; but I prefer the names of Fenway, Wrigley, or Dodger and Yankee Stadium
Wrigley?

Yep, I guess I don't have have a preference between a park that has advertising naming rights and a park that a rich guy named after himself(or family, etc). Does one of those really feel better?
Eh, but Wrigley has always been that so it sounds normal and fine. What's jarring to me is when a building has been around a while and suddenly gets named something else, though I guess if it's renamed in honor of someone I guess it's okay. Ha, I'm contradicting myself here a lot.
Anyhow, I prefer PNC to some new corporate name. It sounds "right" to me after all these years like the other parks.

Yeah when I'm King of Baseball, no name changing after a park's been around for 20 years.

I was kind of hoping they'd change the name to Smoothie King Center.
