Come on, now. This is as wrong as calling Lambeau Field "Greenbay Stadium".

Some licensing issue there i'm pretty sure. Something about Soldier Field being owned by the city and EA not being ablke to get the name rights, something along those lines.

I believe Ea has the right to be able to use the proper names, thing is they are just going to have to shell out an unreasonable amount of money to do so.

I'm going to petition the city hall to hell and back until they give free naming rights. I will get 1,000,000 signatures.

Sir that's not that many today.

Fine then, I will get 10,000,000,000 signatures.

We'd love to use the right name but to this point, the city of Chicago hasn't been interested.

We try each year. One year we'll get it.

Yeah, we are notorious for our corrupt politicians. I'll see what Blago can do about this.
