Ah crap, now we're gonna get ragged on for NOT getting $10m out of this. Thanks a lot Frisaro you unretired idiot.

Frisaro feeding us the wrong scoops.

Man, I was so tempted.. but I know that if we get into Marvel/Superhero puns, there will at least 10 pages of nonstop pun posts, but I feel bad since this is a thread discussing the new ballpark name, and I wouldn’t want to stretch this out too much. 

 

😂

You just didn't wanna make a big Thing outta it

Guess that’s what we get for listening to Frisaro.

I was so confused trying to figure out what this meant and looking at their logo wondering how/why the P in DePot would be capitalized, until I understood they were talking about park.

 

Here's a potential layout for the names.

I just threw up in my mouth. I pray they dont go that overboard with the logo.

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what it’s going to look like.

I mean, reality is it's one on each side plus one on top.  Unless coming from certain angles at a distance, you won't see but one logo at a time.

Why is the L in loanDepot lower case, I hate it so much

Wait til you hear about park.

I think for the logo itself, the park with a lowercase p makes sense. But it’s going to look weird seeing it in print if they do that. But honestly who really cares when it comes down to it.

Lest we forget, what is it, O.co Park?

Was that named after Overstock.com? I honestly thought thats what it was.

Yes.  but o.co is an abbreviation.

We could've had Micco.co Park if Miccosukee got the rights

Here is what people aren't getting with El Depot -- it's got strong nicknamification game. That was a saving grace of US Cellular "The Cell" Field. "El Depot" and "Depot-cito" sound cool and roll of the tongue.

Tell me, what nickname can Truist Park or Guaranteed Rate Park or T-Mobile Field have? They defy nicknames and thus true fan ownership. I'd take El Depot over them any day.

They spent most of the article complaining about the lack of capital letters.  It goes with the logo, so I don't get the big deal.

 

I still think Guaranteed Rate Field is worse.

Three nicknames you presented are all pretty bad

Because it'll help the team, of course.

I’ve heard Guaranteed Rate called The G-Spot. El Depot sounds pretty dumb to me tbh.

taking a break while at work so i don't know if anyone else pointed this out on this thread or the game day one but did anyone else noticed that when a left handed batter was up, the placement of the umpire almost always makes it read "pot park" ?

Yeah, el Depot is stupid.

I guess he only did that because "Miami"? 

 

"The Depot" is ok.

No, I wouldn't say that.  I think it's more that that's the deal they signed, and you make the best out of it/look at the positive of it.  Us not liking the name isn't going to change the fact that that's the name for whatever period of time the deal is for.
