    Raiders' Stadium Gets New Name

    The Oakland Raiders get a new, ridiculous stadium name

    By Chris Chase

    Other than the brief reign of Land Shark Stadium, the NFL has largely avoided the rash of absurdly named arenas that have plagued other sports like baseball and college basketball (I'm looking at you, KFC Yum! Center.) A new deal to rename the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum is set to change that.

    The Oakland-Alameda Coliseum Authority announced a deal to rename the home stadium of the Raiders and A's as Overstock.com Coliseum. The agreement with the Internet retailer will run for six years at a cost of $7.2 million.

    I can already see the jokes:

    "Hey...I'm headed to the Raiders game...meet me at Over-priced Coliseum"

    "It took me an hour to find a parking spot at Over-rated Coliseum"

    "How much is a ticket at Price-Shock Coliseum"?

    I wonder how many older people that are Raiders fans won't know what ".com" means? LOL

    Because I know my grandparents have no clue about the internet.
