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
