Agreed. I remember a similar situation in Calgary in '94 when they changed the original name of the Olympic Saddledome to the Canadian Airlines Saddledome. People worried it'd lose its image. But here we are 17 years later and people still call it "the Dome", didn't really change anything.

After getting over the initial shock of it, I actually kinda like the name Mercedes-Benz Superdome, makes me laugh. Just sounds so slick, like all the fans should be sippin champagnya or something.
