“Plumber, ma’am. Candygram …”
The Dolphins have renamed their stadium “Landshark Stadium.” No, I am not making this up.
I’m still undecided whether I like this. It’s clearly a ridiculous name, even if it’s coming from Jimmy Buffet’s/Anhueser Busch’s Landshark Lager. The Buffet aspect is cool, but it’s still a corporate name.
On the other hand, after so many ridiculous stadium names bought from corporate entities (the current worst: EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City — EnergySolutions is a company that disposes of radioactive waste), at least this one is fun. And here’s the best part — do you here Landshark Stadium and instantly think of the old Landshark skit on “Saturday Night Live?” The one where Chevy Chase (as Landshark) innocently tricks his victim by saying “I’m only a dolphin?”
For that alone, especially in the home of the Dolphins: excellent.
