    where did you hear this?
    just yesterday Enron filed a some sort of legal document against the Astros stating that they "couldn't have their cake and eat it too" and that Enron was paid up until August!? What gives..

    Enron Field to become Astros Field

    Associated Press

    The Houston Astros and Enron Corp. reached a settlement today to allow the baseball team to
    change the name of Enron Field to Astros Field.

    I'm just glad it's not Gallery Furniture Field (yet) does this guy even have enough money to buy the naming rights? I don't think so... although McIngvale Field wouldn't be too bad. :confused:

    Maybe they should sell it to Mrs. Fields cookies. Then it could be Fields field. Oh well just a thought ;)

    I'm in favor of "Hilton Furniture and Mattress Field". Just look for the FACT sign.

    Better names for Enron field (WARNING!!!: HORRIBLE JOKES FORTHCOMING!!!)

    Sell naming rights to Metallica and rename it James Het Field

    Sell naming rights to Jim Davis and rename it Gar Field

    Crap, here comes my boss . . . .

    I don't want it to sound like The Ballpark in Arlington. I hate the Rangers :mad:

    I wonder why they don't call it [insert corporation name] Astrofield.

    Yeah! Or they could sell if to the Air Force, and it would be Air Force Field.

    Or perhaps sell it to that show, Iron Chef. Then it could be named Iron Chef Field.

    Oh wait...

    Sell it to Gary. Then if could be called Gary Sheffield.

    I like Castor27's idea.How about Mrs. Field's cookie field?

    How about calling it "Field of Dreams"?
