Los Angeles Memorial coliseum name change?
Home of the 1932 & 1984 summer Olympics, a historical monument.
I didn't think a corporation could tack their name on a monument? Apparently if they write a big enough check they can. https://www.wsj.com/articles/los-angeles-memorial-coliseum-to-get-new-name-after-deal-with-united-airlines-1517248800

Last time I went to that particular slum was in the early 80's.
they can call it anything they want as long as I don't have to go there. |

 They are supposedly spending a lot of $$$ fixing it up (will be closed for two years), there are two huge cranes set up over there as we speak.

 If it's any consolation I work in an area that's just as bad if not worse.

The project is to be built within a tight 18-month construction schedule. During football season, crews will work Monday through Friday and stop on the weekends for Trojans and Rams games. About one-third of the stadium will be closed to the public during construction
