    Country star George Strait will headline the opening event at Cowboys Stadium. The June 6 concert will also feature Reba McEntire, Blake Shelton and Julianne Hough from Dancing With the Stars.

    Very lame...but it is the most profitable part of the business..and when you build a billion dollar stadium, you HAVE to have one.

    If there is any justice in the world, it would be called Landry Stadium.

    Although I think JJ will himself out to the highest bidder, so at least do a "Landry Field at _______ stadium"

    Isn't there an arena named for Amway somewhere? Between that and Enron field, there's hardly anything that could be worse.

    The only stadium that should never have had naming rights attached to it is Joe Robbie, since he's the one who built the stadium with private money. All other ones are fair game. I thought "ball park in Arlington" was supergay when they announced it, but I'm glad time has proven me wrong on that one. "Cowboys Stadium" is fine for now.

    I actually like the name "ball park in Arlington."

    That would be awesome, but unlikely.

    With this stadium, I don't think it's really about whoring himself out. When you spend over a billion dollars on a stadium, you absolutely have to have a sponsor...no one can afford to spend as much money as he has on this stadium and then afford to keep it running.

    I think they should name it the Disney Amphitheater since events like the Jonas brothers will be bigger than cowboy games.

    I agree to a point. Yes you need sponsors but you could do it in a way that doesn't affect the name of the stadium. Advertise in and around the stadium, give the sponsor all the signage rights, etc.

    Or Mcaffee Coliseum where the Raiders play. I'd rather the name stick to Cowboys Stadium.
