Whatchu talkin' bout, "Willis"?

I can call it Bruce Willis tower

I mean seriously, would ANY terrorist ever attack a landmark that has ANY relation to Bruce Willis?(yes i know its after an investment group but still)

I mean one watching of die hard and seeing how he took care of the Nakatomi Tower, WHO the fuck would mess with Willis tower?
 
Sears hasn't been there since 93, and that didn't stop them from leaving it. It'll always be the Sears Tower..... ( or Nakatomi East lol)

I'll call it the Willis tower if Gary Coleman is present at a renaming ceremony and does his famous Different Strokes line! :happyhop:
 
Sears Tower it is. 😀
And 6th Avenue is still 6th Avenue. 😀
 
Meh..what's in a name..it's just a big building....
 
Honestly, I'm more bemused at the management justification behind it. Why would you rename a landmark? Isn't there importance to putting your corporate address in such a building? If you have offices in the Empire State Building in New York City or the TransAmerica Building in San Fransisco, isn't part of the reason for so doing that you can put down "Suite 3289746, Empire State Building, New York, NY" on your business card? Who's going to know what "Willis Tower" is when they see that address? If you had Sears Tower down, everyone would know the name. You ruin the brand.

I'm also somewhat surprised Daley, with his dark powers born of great corruption, didn't get the building designated historic so it couldn't be changed. He must have been paid a great deal.
 
JUST A BUILDING????!!!!?????

OK, admittedly, I'm a native Chicagoan, born and raised until I was 13, but you just don't mess with iconic structures. Just think if some insurance firm bought the Empire State Building and changed it to State Farm Tower, or the Eiffel Tower became the Evian Tower. Omaha's own Ameritrade recently bought the Cubs. Not sure if Wrigley Field came with the deal, but if Wrigley becomes Ameritrade Park, Chicagoans will firebomb Omaha, and rightly so. Anyone know where to buy fire extinguishers cheaply in bulk?

It's Sears Tower, end of story. Todd Bridges didn't build it, he doesn't live there and has no right to lay claim to it. Besides, Mr. Drummond was the man of means. You and your brother had nothing but your jeans.

LMFAO This is fucking hilarious.

And Wrigley Field will always be Wrigley Field. It's bad enough Comisky Park turned into US Cellular Field. Next thing, there's gonna be a Preparation H Field.

This is chicago you are talking about, anything is for sale
Plus Daley is too obsessed with his abortion of an idea to get the Olympics in Chicago when he can't even properly fund the CTA

Theyre not just buying the name, the bought the space and will be doing business out of it. Professionally its tacky if you are a major firm and in a building you own but not the name of

Friend of mine got 3 days detention because we had a French Teacher who looked like Rickman and he wanted him to say in French "Where are my detonators?"
 
They might change the name of Wrigley Field to something corporate. You wanna talk about tragedy?
 
I agree with Annie, will never call it Willis Tower


but at least Gary Coleman can come get a job, so its win/win right???:rowfull:

Some ideas for corporate stadiums...

Soldier Field could become Playboy Field... after all, it is topless.

Yankee Stadium could become Viagra Stadium... It's the 2nd most expensive sports erection in the world.

Dodger Stadium could become Northrop Grumman Arena... Northrop Grumman is a defense contractor that spends a good amount of time dodging scandals.

Cowboys Stadium could become Exxon Field... Even astroturf is used, just in case any spills occur.

Georgia Dome could become Hooters Dome... but they'd need to make an identical dome to sit right next to the current one.
 
In regards to names for sports fields who cares?

They changed the name of Comiskey and used the revenue from those rights to massively improve the stadium to what it is now and i still call it Comiskey

Budweiser lost the naming rights to the one rooftop across wrigley. Now if you watch and you ever need a little woody help, you can check out the viagra roof
 
Seriously, we need to burn down North America and star from scratch...I'm not joking.
