Name That Ballpark (Sponsor)

The Nationals are looking to sell ballpark naming rights, and some fans are disappointed.

Maryb889: It has the perfect name: Nationals Park. No change necessary....

MAOTIKI: I AM A NEW YORKER AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE NEW BALLPARK NAMED "D.C. STADIUM". ENOUGH WITH THE CORPORATE NAMES!!!

columbiard: I was seomewhat proud to see that it was its name, and not some corporate name. I didn't think they'd go corporate. So heartless. Just leave it the way it is. It works. Besides, isn't it OUR stadium??

No stadium will ever be our stadium, columbiard, but that doesn't mean we can't pretend.

That being said, I propose a contest: Name That Ballpark (Sponsor). If it were your ballpark, which sponsor would you choose to represent the Nats?

Of course, we all know that when club president Stan Kasten says the sponsor "has to be someone who has the same ideas about the purpose of the ballpark and the relationship to the customer," he probably means "$$$$$$ $$$$$$ $$$$$."

That's boring though, so forget about which bank would pay the most to plaster their name all over town.

Who would be the best sponsor for the Nationals' ballpark, based on name/company product/overall hilariousness?

A panel* of expert** judges will choose a winner, who will receive a handsome prize.***

Need inspiration? Here are three of the best suggestions from the comments section of Saturday's story.

alex35332: someone call Dan Snyder about calling it Six Flags Stadium

chilliwack: Blue Plains Sewage Treatment Stadium

tradervic1313: Lerner Field - make them pay!

* Can a panel be one person?
** Novice
** There's probably no prize, but you should still enter just in case
