That name sucks but who cares. Kinda curious why it's such a seemingly random company on the other side of the country though. Couldn't find anything more local or any bigger company? Man I hope they're getting good money from this regardless. 

Apparently this company is making bank on the house market...name recognition will probably help them pick up some of that sweet refinance dough...

 

I'm sticking with Mr. Cooper...in fact I wish Mr. Cooper bought in..."Mr. Cooper Park"

And then we could all hang there.

To be fair this is probably great for that company. Nobody ever heard of them and they're about to have their name on an MLB ballpark and will be mentioned on broadcasts across the country. A bigger company probably doesn't feel it needs to pay for that type of exposure.

The more I think about it, stadium naming rights across all sports have shifted away from big companies in recent years. It's a lot more of loandepot, Globe Life, Guaranteed Rate, and Oracle and way less of Pepsi, ATT, and American Airlines. This is probably no coincidence.

Such an underrated joke.

I was thinking this as well.  But maybe they want to break into the South Florida market if they're not here already.

Dude. Minus the name...this seems like a win a for everyone involved...

 

But really...just a terrible name for a company..."Mortgage company llc"

Ah this makes sense. Well whatever as long as they got the deal from the highest bidder.

The Heat's deal for what will now be FTX Arena is apparently $90M over 19 years.  Which equals ~$4.74M per year.  It'll be interesting to see how the Marlins' one compares.

I hate this take. What corporate name is gonna be a good one compared to a clean and traditional ballpark name? The point isn't the name the point is the revenue.

Actually, it's not so Marlins. The Marlins -- in their history -- have never recouped value from stadium naming rights. They let that fruit rot on the vine. What did they care? It's not like they were spending on the draft, international free agency, or player development.

The domain LoanDepotPark.com was registered on 2/23 so they managed to keep it secret for over a month, well done.

Jesus Christ , what the hell it’s that shit. I’d have accepted Discover before Loan Depot... and here’s a list of things I’d have accepted before discover.

I’m calling it “Two Live Chickens Park” or TLC Park for short.

I like how you all think the Marlins are able to choose any corporate name they want to put as the new name of the ballpark.

I once had hopes and dreams for this team, but much like my marriage I’m left with memories and regrets.

Stop worrying about their past. Their future looks pretty bright right now, not sure why that's hard to see.
