Monster Park

Today, the 49ers sold the naming rights to Candlestick Park to a company called Monster Cable. Hence, the stadium will be known as Monster Park.

Is that badass or what? Think of the new mascots, the decorations, the Halloween party. This gives the Niners a HUGE home field advantage. Think about it--would you want to play in Monster Park? Or do you get just a hair nervous?

When you consider the competiton (Virgin Air, Organic--Virgin Park? Organic Park? Ugh!), this turned out fabulously. Plus, Monster Cable is a local company that started in some dude's garage out in the Richmond 25 years ago, not a huge behemoth like FedEx or Ford. Size, however, ties into my only complaint--they only got $6M for four years. The Redskins get over $6M A YEAR for FedEx Field.

But then again, based on the 0-3 49ers season so far, $6M may more than fair.
