Aside from the one mentioned by **Forbin** , there’s already some interesting ones. [Tweeter Center](http://www.tweetercenter.com) (Where all the acts sound like birds chirping?) [Cricket Pavilion](http://cricket-pavilion.com/home.html) (Is it infested?) And an imaginary one: Andersen Park, where our teams are undefeated every single season! ---

**Thiokol** Park: “We know the fans and investors were upset about the park’s grand opening being slightly behind schedule, but don’t worry, there will be no more delays…in fact, we’re going to reopen AHEAD of schedule, just in time to host the first mixed-gender world series game! Oh, don’t listen to what the architectural consultant says. He’s just being crazy and paranoid. Trust us.” ---

I’d like to see that copying company get rights to the Orioles complex… Hey, let’s go watch the Kinko Os play. Why not go down to the Kodak Complex and Expos ourselves? Maybe we could watch the Phillies at the Subway Sandwich Park or the Twins at Playtex Park. Just one request… that the Reds not play at Tampex Park.
