It's all about sponsoring of course, and governments leaving it to the 'public' (my idea) On our trip we will mainly visit National Parks, historic sites like mining towns, places of Native Americans and a few big cities like Seattle and Vancouver/Calgary, but the big price: The Rockies. Thanks for visiting my blog. Bye! Hi Deirdre,

The highway road signs just say "Volkspark" and "arena". The administration refuse to change the signs every few months, and that's sensible. Today I rode past our arena.

We had the perfectly good Mile-High Stadium here for years, but when a replacement was built, it becamse Invesco Field at Mile-High. What does an investment company have to do with football? I guess about as much as office supplies have to do with basketball. And what happens if/when the company goes out of business? I totally agree.

It makes me think that economy is the coming religion. The large sports arenas have names of phone companies and get new names every half year. I do think this is going too far! And I just resist. I still call the arena "Volkspark-Stadion", as it was called ever since it was built. The names of such places must not be as transient as advert labels are! This trend is awful.
