ESPN had an article about age of all the current NFL stadiums. I'm reading through all the name changes of other stadiums. Dolphins Stadium has had 8 different names since 1987. I started thinking about the Detroit Arena & Stadium names. We have had so few name changes in our history. It's defying the trends at this point. Comerica especially. Banks go through mergers all the time & change their names.


Navin Field/Briggs Stadium/Tiger Stadium - Ironically, the only stadium with name changes was before corporate naming was a thing.

Olympia Stadium - Opened & closed with the same name

Cobo Arena - Opened & closed with the same name

Pontiac Metropolitan Stadium/Pontiac Silverdome - First two years as Pontiac Metropolitan Stadium.

Joe Louis Arena - Opened & closed with the same name

The Palace of Auburn Hills - Opened & closed with the same name

Comerica Park - Same name since opening

Ford Field - Same name since opening

Little Caesers Arena - Same name since opening
