Unhappy It's not the Sears Tower anymore

Sears Tower, the name given from the start has been renamed the Willis Tower. They bought the tower and decided to change the name.

Is there nothing sacred anymore?

They can "change" the name, but it will always be the Sears Tower.

That's true. Kind of like when they changed Cominsky Park to US Cellular. I will always call it Cominsky. Now if they ever change Wrigley I am done. lol

This reminds me.... 5/3 Bank helped 'my' city build a new baseball field so guess what those ppl did? Yes...it was named "5/3 Field". Yuk They of coarse have a big 'ad' going round & round high above the entrance, with the name.
